Nonsense

Whilst Vista isn't the speed demon it was originally touted to be, it's certainly not the perf whore many are claiming it to be.

If you're seeing major perf issues with Vista, you should:

1) Remove unnecessary start-up apps from your startup group and using MSCONFIG.

2) Update! Make sure you're fully patched via Windows Update. You ARE running SP1, right?

3) Check your HDD's - major sudden perf degradation often indicates a dying HDD.

4) Check your 3rd party drivers - graphics drivers in particular have improved enormously over the last 2 years.

However, you'll probably enjoy life more if you move to Win7 - it is Windows Redefined.

Paris because she too enjoys a dubious reputation.
