"In terms of performance we can do a lot of things, such as not having so many services running at boot time," Sinofksy said. "We're really pleased with the performance of Windows 7, even on a netbook with 1GB of RAM."
Sinofsky also refused to be drawn on a final release date for the operating system. "We really do mean we'll ship it when it's ready," he said. "We don't need to be playing schedule goals all the time."
