If he has 1GB+ of RAM (2GB is recommended, but not mandatory), and a compatible video card/chipset, then yes Win7 will run significantly faster than XP.

Win7 is much more polished than XP and much more efficient - provided your computer meets the prerequisites.

If you do not understand this ... then go get yourself a standard first generation netbook (atom single core processor, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, and Intel 945 chipset) running XP, and then install Win7 on it, and you will see a significant performance boost.
Finally someone who doesn't suggest XP just to bump his postcount. XP is a piece of shiet software that should never have been on the market. Christ almighty I hate XP. 7 is much much better AND FASTER!
