OE can seem to be very well behaved. Your experience is only uncommon for
the situation where there are millions of individuals. In that case the,
"help, all my messages are gone," subject line in the OE newsgroup made a
regular appearance. OE's data structure has performance at the cost of
fragility - a one bit hit will do the trick. See the Steve Cochran and Tom
Koch OE sites.

carl feredeck said:will if you are pleased with it then good for you.. but can you tell me
these 2 things?
1) Did you have xp on the same machine you now have or is this a new one?
Same machines. Dual booting in fact.
2) Did you compare a fresh install of XP with a fresh install of Vista?
Or an old install of XP with a fresh install of vista?
One XP install was (at the time I installed Vista) only 3 or 4 months old.
On my 2 identical T41 laptops (one has Vista and OS X, the other has XP and
OS X) all are new installs because I re-partitioned for OS X.
Dont tell me that the response of the interface of vista with non aero is
better than XP ...
That's what I'm telling you. Sorry if my observations clash with your
pre-conceived notions. The grinding of the disk in XP when restoring
windows (and after un-hibernating) is much more annoying than any slight lag
in Window drawing in Vista - which I haven't noticed in any case.
I'll take Vista any day. YMMV.

Then you don't know many people.
Most people are naturally resistant to change. They don't like "new" when
they are comfortable with "old and familiar". In a few years time people
will look back at XP and think "I used to actually *use* this?" I thought
that about Windows 2000 a few years ago, and am quickly starting to feel
that way about XP.

You can't be objective. Not surprising at all. Lots of Microsoft
fanboys here that never take the blinders off.
That's hilarious coming from you.
I am the one being objective here. I'm the one that remembers how bad XP
was when it was released. You are the one saying XP was perfect and a
"huge leap forward". I'm the one that posted my network file copying
results that showed that Vista was in fact slower than OS X, but it's not
"seriously broken" the way you keep claiming.
No, Vista is not perfect. No new software release ever is. But it's
certainly better than the trolls here keep claiming - some with no real
experience to back up their claims.

I'm fully aware of the OE "problems". Been responding to them for years. But
while they exist and are encountered by others, I've never seen it first
hand, not on my machine nor on any other machine I've worked on. Yes, it's a
bit fragile, but proper usage reduces the potential problem to near nil.

Adam Albright said:What you saying is a two foot tall pile of rotting garbage is less
offensive than a five foot tall pile of rotting garbage.
Yes, exactly. Saying Windows Mail is better than OE certainly is not
saying much! But it IS, in fact, better.
Most people would think garbage is just garbage.
That's why most people don't use Linux.

Yeah! Hard disks? Gimme mag tape! RAM? Gimme core memory!
I've actually done COBOL programming using punch cards. IBM 026, 029 and

How is what Frank has said "backpedaling"? Alias proposes stupid tests to
prove eventualities that we never encounter, due to good practices.

To me, yes, and I use one. To most people who use Outhouse Express, no.
They think it means United Parcel Service.

Typical of someone who knows NOTHING about Vista.
FYI the graphical subsystem was changed to offload the graphic processing to
the video card and use little if any processor time.
