This tread is mostly about using WINDOWS XP IN A ROBOT and comparing it to windows 7 i see a lot of it off topic
Here is somethings i found out by testing both windows XP and windows 7
Now i have 2.4ghz dual processor with 3 gig memory and using 32 bit systems both windows 7 and windows XP and windows XP on a bench mark test shows it was much faster,now with a 64 bit windows 7 it was a lot faster.
But the windows 7 draw almost double current then windows XP THAT why if you check every professional robot over $1000 and some over $12000 like the one i am getting soon hanson ROBOKIND that just came out,none uses windows 7,robot cost more so they can easy add it,but they dont
Wish we had private messaging here because I don't really want this to be public. Rich, just ignore the nonsense posts and the rest of us can discuss the actual pros and cons of the different operating systems.
And now I am going to ignore my own advice. Robotmaker, look up the word moot. It was spelled and used correctly. I ignore the fact that that your grammar and spelling is atrocious. I assume English is not your primary language, and even if it is, I would not ever make fun or complain, but if you are going to attack someone else's spelling or grammar at least be correct yourself.
you said nothing wrong with you spelling (pros and cos, ) i never heard of the word COS cons yes ,and another is MOOT ,when the spelling should be MOST I did say my selling is bad also,i dont double check it Most clubs have a spelling checker to fix typo's errors
THEY FORGET ABOUT THIS and see the tests
No, the spelling should be moot. If I missed the n from cons then you got me... that puts everything I have written as being incorrect because the n didn't register on the keyboard.
As of now I will be ignoring all posts in this topic by @robotmaker. I wish he would understand this but my attempts have failed. Provided everyone else interested understands I can live with one not grasping it.
Sounds like a plan to me....
Ok i see WHAT you meen by a MOOT POINT. just i never ever in my life seen it came up and i know many others seen it too,its not a common word. But i look it up on the internet of what it meens I did not ever said you are incorrect. I disagree with a few things you say ,and you seem to disagree with me but does say you are incorrect
The first three tests are done, which were done mainly to prove the point that there was a massive discharge issue with Windows 7 out of the box and that proper upgrades, patches and optimisation can make huge differences...
Test 1, no updates, no patches, no optimisation looked like this...
Test 3, all current updates and patches, minor power management optimisation and other minor windows tweaks looked like this...
(Test 2 was optimisation on an un-updated windows and will be included in my full report but pointless here for now)
Notice the discharge times in the bottom right of the charts. 66 minutes for the first one whereas it was 448 minutes in the second. An increase of 382 minutes (over 6 hours!) or over 650% better...
It's a massive increase in battery life, so much that I am not 100% convinced the first test is correct and will run it again when I run the Win7 out of the box ARC test to make sure it was running idle.

Thanks!
@RichMR2, your method is sound. The graph is a great idea to post. Even if its off by 60 minutes then its still great in my book.
