What:
     Windows 8 has been released and is expected to be drastically better in terms of performance—has the new operating system lived up to its hype? In a new two-part (https://blog.tune-up.com/news/windows-8-versus-windows-7-performance-shootout/) blog post series (https://blog.tune-up.com/news/windows-8-stress-test-how-3rd-party-programs-ruin-the-new-oss-performance-2/), TuneUp determines that Microsoft’s “biggest bet” actually does boast performance and reliability improvements over Windows 7. However, TuneUp’s benchmark findings show that third-party programs weaken Windows 8 performance, tripling the total boot time and decreasing battery life by more than a quarter. The outcome suggests that all computers, no matter how advanced the operating system, become sluggish with each additional application added, and that TuneUp Utilities 2013 can help bring PC performance back to normal.

Who:          Consumers looking to understand how Windows 8 fares in terms of performance, especially when compared to Windows 7, will benefit from the information.
