exo.blog has at the request of their members re-run the original OfficeBench
test, this time with 2GB of RAM in the test system. Unfortunately the
outcome is unchanged bar a 4% improvement on the previous score. One can
argue that Windows XP system requirements are quite a bit lower than its
successor, and thats probably got a lot to do with it. This, coupled with
claims that Vista SP1 will not improve on performance but will in fact be
all about stability and reliability instead, doesn't offer much hope for
those people on older systems.

Make of it what you will, I personally don't have performance issues at all.
I use Vista with 2GB of RAM and I have a Sandisk 2GB memory stick that is
used for the "Ready Boost" feature, maybe they should re-run the test with
that scenario.

Chris Pirillo had this to say on all those negative articles surrounding
Windows Vista, enjoy!

I would assume you are getting used to seeing things again and again and
again and again...
UAC has given you lots of practice on that

The test was rigged. They didn't run Office 2007 on XP which would have
screwed up the result they so desperately wanted.

On the subject of desperation, how has your day been?

This article was just re-released today. I didn't see it posted yet
but it's essentially the same article with 2GB tested instead of the
original 1GB.

I think it's a lot closer to the industry standard. Businesses are not
running office 2007 no matter how badly MS wants to spin the numbers.
2003 is the current standard so it's on target testing.

I would assume that you are used to being a mental retard.. Again and Again
and Again. You have made sure of that.

Just FYI

Well, for users of very old machines with low system resources, it's a
dog. I was just in a Vista deployment session at Microsoft this week
and even the instructor says that you can turn off some of the dumb
eye candy and other settings to bring it up to a more respectable
performance level. There have been some performance patches that were
released not too long ago that bring up performance a bit.

Like other IT longtimers, I know that Vista SP1 is what Vista RTM
*should* have been. Vista SP2 will likely bring up the performance.
