For the new Windows, Microsoft is aiming their operating system at not only features and functions, but as well as speed. Much effort has been put into making sure Windows 7 performs as it should, and does not turn into a downhill operating system like Vista did at its launch. Intel and Microsoft have been working together to figure out the best coding possible as far as speed is concerned. A new feature in the next Windows has been implemented because of this collaboration, called SMT parking, which provides additional support for the included Windows 7 scheduler while using Intel Hyper-threading Technology. The two companies have also used their combined efforts to analyze various boot, shutdown, sleep, and resume times on Intel platforms, so that Intel drivers, BIOS, and Windows 7 can be optimized accordingly.
