    This is spiffy and all but I can't justify using Vista on my home pc until hardware catches up to it. The type of applications I run at home I can't afford any sort of lag in my machine.

    Great to hear that the tips helped speedup your system, I’m receiving lots of positive results.

    Could you PM me your computer hardware as I’m making new articles based on the results received.

    If anyone else post please include some information on your setup.

    Thanks Brian

    Is this some kind of windup?

    If someone is using your account you should report it to the MODS.

    Now back to topic.

    Come on guys and gals post your results.

    Thanks Brian

    I think that’s part of the problem...
    Because people’s PC are not up to running the software, if you have the right hardware I see no reason to be against it.
    I would have hated using Vista on my old PC.

    Thanks Brian

    Alot of people are against Vista because it's new, or the other guy hates it.

    Just updated to 64bit Vista and I must say “WOW” Don’t waste your time telling me that XP is better/faster than this.

    My PC rocks.

    Thanks Brian
