Tom's Hardware: "Our hopes that Vista might be able to speed up applications are gone. ...and we believe it's safe to say that users looking for more raw performance will be disappointed with Vista. Vista is the better Windows, because it behaves better, because it looks better and because it feels better. But it cannot perform better than Windows XP."

not sure how they can say

'Vista is the better Windows, because it behaves better, because it looks better and because it feels better'

and then say

'But it cannot perform better than Windows XP'

seems to be a contradiction...

Yeh I'm refusing to build a pc this year, because I know they're working on cramming cores in them; figure that i'll be able to get a 2.4ghz dual quad in '08 for like $400 lol

I'm actually just in a group of 2 I started w/ a friend of mine years ago. He's still running an old box w/ Win98SE so obviously I'm carrying all the load. \:D

No one's on ours anymore, the forcing of BOINC vs the old SETI client nerfed all of our clients running at several schools in Cali; so now they don't process a thing (one of our older members is their ex server tech and got permission to waste idle processing)

See, I kept thinking that Vista was a female-dog to load after all the complaints I've been hearing! But I think that's cuz they just didn't know how to do it...

 Quote:

After over 12 hours of trying to install Windows Vista, downloading countless drivers that didn’t work and dealing with lots of hardware conflict issues, Anthony figured he was finally qualified to give others a very useful tutorial on installing Windows Vista on a computer running Windows XP. See for yourself how to SUCCESSFULLY install Windows Vista!


I present you, here, a short video demonstration on how to install Vista!

That makes it so much easier now.... ;\)
