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
  • Western Digital Hard Drive 7200.10 RPM

Let's see who is faster :

Surprised? After all the time differences are not so disparate.

Disillusioned with Windows 8 or surprised or with Ubuntu 12.10?

Complete the Start menu in Windows 8



In truth there is much talk about the new look of Windows 8, but a question that is arising more frequently is the absence of the traditional Start menu and the Start button.
As our readers probably already guessed, the 8StartButton is a tool that can be used to restore the Start button in a way that allows us to learn and benefit from all the new features and options that can be found in Windows 8, and that the  former  Start menu has accustomed us over the years. Let us know?


Obviously there are several tools that want a Start menu in Windows 8, but the 8StartButton do it in the most immediately recognizable, ie the Start button simply works as expected and delivers what we really want it. It almost goes without saying that the tool is not limited only to bring back the Start menu, but it also gives us greater control over the appearance and function.


The tool allows us to choose choose from one of the many ready images of the Start button, or choose to use one of our own preference and there are numerous ways in which we can customize how the menu itself works.


Nevertheless, it should be borne in mind that while the 8StartButton is certainly recognized as a Start menu, users may not face exactly the same as the menu found on previous versions of Windows - it is this rather a renovation and addition the new and controversial look of Windows 8.
As a complement, the tiles can be included in the Start menu for easy access to our most used tools, and the right-click menu can be customized to allow access to additional options.

No matter which direction we have chosen for our taskbar, with 8StartButton can be integrated in all positions and a low consumption of system resources - this means we can take advantage of this application without compromising performance.
The free version presented here is really just a sample of what we can expect in the full version. For only $ 14 this can be possibly a cheap way to make Windows 8 work the way you want!
