A total of 133 different products claimed to improve the performance of one\u2019s computer were<br \/>\ntested. These products have been put through a rigorous testing procedure in which different benchmarks are<br \/>\nused to see what effects \u2013 if any \u2013 these products really have.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing like this has ever been done before, not with these testing methods and not on this scale,\u201d said Jouni<br \/>\nFlemming, Vice President of Macecraft Software. \u201cWe believe users are sick and tired of fake product reviews<br \/>\nand affiliate link-infested comparisons that really tell nothing about these products. It&#8217;s about time to separate<br \/>\nthe facts from the marketing talk and see if these products can really make a computer faster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the study, two specific claims are measured including whether or not these products can make Windows start<br \/>\nfaster and also, if they can make the system actually operate at a higher speed. The system start-up times were<br \/>\nmeasured before and after running the products and PCMark 7 system performance benchmark software has<br \/>\nbeen used to determine whether these products have any impact on the performance of the computer.<\/p>\n<p>The tests were carried out using three different operating systems: Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10<br \/>\n(Technical Preview). In one of the testing procedures, the system is first benchmarked in its freshly installed<br \/>\nstate with no software installed to it. After this, some of the world&#8217;s most popular software is installed to the<br \/>\nsystem and benchmarks are run again to see whether installing popular software slows down the system. The<br \/>\nlast step is to test the system after it has been cleaned of the tested products and benchmarked one last time. The<br \/>\nfindings will be published along with screenshots and video to provide detailed information.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want people to see what really works rather than let consumers waste time and money on products that are<br \/>\nnot as effective as claimed,\u201d Flemming said. \u201cWith all of the published findings within this study, this will<br \/>\nleave no room for excuses. This study will change absolutely everything and we\u2019re really excited about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark study findings are set to be released on <strong>March 10, 2015<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2001 by the original author of the RegCleaner program &#8211; one of the first Windows registry cleaner<br \/>\nsoftware, first released in 1998 &#8211; Macecraft Software is a true pioneer and an industry leader in the field of<br \/>\nWindows optimization and registry cleaning software.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An upcoming study will test 133 different software products claiming to increase the performance of Windows PCs.
