Nope....I upgraded XP Pro to Vista Business.
XP, of course, was lightning-quick (in terms of overall system response,
boot-up time, etc. And yes, delete 5K from the Recycle Bin took...oh....a
millisecond?
I've also been having to agonize through 5-10 minute reboot times. Needless
to say, I never reboot my machine unless I absolutely have to.
Now, I don't have a state-of-the-art machine; it's a 2gig centrino laptop
with 1gig memory, and a 2gig USB stick I'm using with ReadyBoost. But once
Vista finally decides to load up, everything works smoothly (even with the
Aero graphics turned on).
So I really don't understand why the heck It would take 10 minutes to boot.
Guess I should track down all the garbage that's being loaded at startup
(including the Sidebar). Of course, this still doesn't explain the Recycle
Bin issue.
In closing, I'd like to say: aaaaaaarrrrgh!!!!
Thanks,
Bryan Green
