After all what is faster: Ubuntu 12.10 or Windows 8?

The war between operating system is something that has always existed in the world of computing. The war is certainly more intense in the field of mobile devices, including iOS and Android, but the segment of desktop operating systems to the eternal comparison between Windows and Linux systems continues.
While there are several quality criteria to assess an operating system, such as security, reliability, complete programming interface, simple and well documented truth is that the tendency is always to make an evaluation based on performance.
Windows 8 or Ubuntu 12.10, after which the fastest?

Windows 8 was to be known as the ultra-fast operating system! However, this is only possible if you have a system with multi-core processor, SSD and UEFI technology (learn more here ).
Moreover, and despite the Linux stand out, in terms of performance, other operating systems, the truth is that the latest versions of Ubuntu distribution have received some criticism from users ( some suggestions to improve performance ).
But the question remains!! Ubuntu or WIndows 8, which is faster?
To answer this question, nothing better than having two machines side by side exactly alike! The video below shows the results of two tests:

• 1) Boot
• 2) Log in

Specifications of the machines

• Intel Core i7 2600 K@3.40 ​​Ghz
• 16 GB DDR3 RAM @ 1333 Mhz
