Gee wiz, it's nice to back on XP. On a Core 2 with 2GB of RAM, XP flies. MS
can keep Vista for now. I eventually removed Vista and went back to XP of
much deliberation. Even though I have XP here on 2 other machines, I had
gotten used the speed of Vista on my main PC. Now that I'm back on XP, I'm
thrilled. Fast usable and stable, that's what an OS should provide. I don't
even think SP1 for Vista will resolve any of the speed issues. It's Kernel
and various new internal methods are just to slow. We will have to wait for
20000rpm drives and a 8 Core processor for Vista to match XP on today's
hardware. If you've been thinking about going back to XP because you're sick
of the drama with Vista, do it, you won't be sorry.....

To much too soon.

I uploaded PC Optomizer....ran the fix...blazing.

I do not agree and will put the speed of my system (Vista Business) up
against XP any day !!..Much faster with Vista..Core2 with 4 gigs ddr2 800
twin 160gig sata drives in a Raid format

Then there was something drastically wrong with your XP setup...

Hi,

I have upgraded to Vista and find it much quicker than XP ever was! People
have such different experiences of it.

How can you say that ?? Do you have 2 identical systems ?? One running XP
and one running Vista as I do ??I know some people are having problems with
Vista and it is unfortunate however some of us are not having any problems
at all....When I installed Vista it was a totally fresh install on a brand
new system which I built identical with my other system running XP....Core2
duo 2.66gig Intel D975XBX2 Bad Axe motherboard,,4gigs of DDR2 800 Kingston
HyperX ram ...My XP system was a FRESH CLEAN install done on January 1st as
I do every yr....I chose to build these 2 systems so I could compare them to
see the difference in speed and stability... Once determined either upgrade
or downgrade one of them and sell it as I really only need one...All my
games and simulators run smooth and flawlessly..My antivirus and malware
protection also runs smooth....I do not see how posting a statement like you
did shows a knowledge of how my systems might be acting....I have been a
diehard XP user since the very first day it came out and the only reason I
changed was and is is because VISTA is the future and XP is the past
!!....Many people out there are still running windows 98 and are quite happy
with it...When they decide to change to a new system do you really think
they will buy XP ?? I say not because why upgrade to technology that is
already getting old ?? They too will buy Vista and some may even wait for
Vienna....I have no knowledge of how long YOU have been using windows
products or how your system is configured but maybe you do not realize or
remember how really BAD XP was when it first came out but I remember and it
took 2 service packs to get it even reasonably close to a decent op
system...By then it was so bogged down with all the updating I do not think
it was or is as fast as it once was....I say within a year or less Vista for
all will be faster and more stable with less updates than XP...I am not nor
have ever been a employee of Microsoft and I also believe Vista could be
better but still believe in the future of it......My rant is done and end
with Vista Rocks !!!

Visit the newsgroup microsoft.public.windowsxp.general and you may be
surprised that problem posts equal, and at times exceed, those in the Vista
group.

I think it is more "familiarity" over the years with XP rather then
superiority of XP over Vista - we just do not like changes.

I'm with DREW.. I used XP alot at work, but was on 98 at home, as i just
needed a word processor and printer... THIS is the future, and it is visually
and ergonomically light years ahead. As I didn't use XP TOO much, this is
heaven......as if people didn't expect all these driver problems, etc. The
price to pay for progress, I suppose.....

Possibly but not necessarily.
Many have reported faster clean install of Vista compared to a clean
install of Windows XP.
Without a lot of specifics left out of the post, a conclusion such as
you made can not really be reached.

Vista does install faster than XP, there's no doubt of that, but that's
not what I was referring to. The OP implied that his Vista ran much
faster than XP and that's simply not true unless there was something
drastically wrong with his XP install.
