    i set up this thread to compare the temps between windows 7 and windows vista. i googled for it but there's no comparison chart. please feel free to contribute.

    windows vista:

    idle: 62-65
    under load: 77-85


    windows 7:

    idle: 55-60
    under load: 70-80


    i see that windows 7 runs noticeably cooler than windows vista. Please post your details so that other users can have an idea about what to choose if they decide to bootcamp windows.
