測量表現操作系統是一件棘手的事。 同時，因為表現是許多標準之一重要對顧客，它是要做的正確和必要的事。 一部分的測量的表現把戲是計時測試的施行與產品週期這樣結果是一樣意味深長的儘可能為顧客; 這幫助他們通過利用充分的做出一個更好的決定可利用的信息。 作為一個例子，一年前我們委任了企業稱Principled Technologies 進行研究 比較Windows XP SP2與窗口景色RTM。 研究發現了二個操作系統的工作指標在同一個範圍之內為家和企業用戶在真實世界的情況下頻繁地執行的許多任務。

我的點是我們等待進行這些基準點測試，直到窗口景色在產品週期到達了RTM里程碑，作為允許的此我們當時提供我們的顧客最意味深長的數據可利用 -- 直接地影響他們的決定的很可能數據升級到窗口景色。 我們做性能測試的一個整體範圍在OS發展過程的每個階段，但，概括來說，我們避免分享沒有去的RTM軟件的基準測試(即，最後的代碼)。 這解釋為什麼我們迄今未出版基準測試的任何研究結果(亦不未委任任何人如此做)
