Hi :)
Ubuntu is already much faster than Windows. Even where Windows is freshly installed and perhaps tweaked for maximum performance i still find even an old crumbling and messed-up Ubuntu on a usb-stick out-performs it.
It's difficult to test now because i put an hour into re-installing Ubuntu 10.04 to the same usb-stick so it works like new and i haven't lost any data. On a similar machine a reinstall of WIndows took about 2 days (including updates, reboot, update again, reboot again, update again ... and i am still not sure everything (eg all drivers, all programs)) is updated).
If speed was the only issue then Ubuntu beats Windows hands-down. No contest.
Regards from
Tom :)
