Nobody seems to actually be looking at the benchmarks, they just come and post here that Windows 7 is awesome. THE ARTICLE IS ABOUT WINDOWS 7 GAME PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO VISTA AND XP. It clearly shows there is no benefit from Vista -> 7. Discussions related to the other pros/cons of 7 vs Vista/XP, however valid in their own right, are irrelevant here.

So for me, Vista 64/DX10/GTX280, there is absolutely no justification for upgrading to Windows 7 with respect to gaming.. hopefully driver releases give some sort of benefit in the future, but I think I'll pass for the time being.

Their "awesome system" isn't very awesome.
