Yes faster, I use both XP and Vista everyday and there is a noticeable difference.

Then your XP must be seriously crippled. Many people don't realize how much useless spyware and junk is running on their computers eating up the resources. You should ask a computer tech person to look at it for you.

LOL@You, you actually thought that link at the bottom was real.

I didn't read the fine print and never thought it was intended to be a joke. I'm one of those charming conservatives who don't easily buy into sales hype and wouldn't "upgrade" to Vista for free. After learning that the Chinese nation purchased whooping 244 copies of Vista in the first two weeks, free giveaways - although not quite in MS style - would not surprise me at all.

The thing is, it isnt a cripple malware/adware/virus infested machine. It is almost pristine and optimized as best XP can be. The truth is that there seems to be a point where Vista on hardware really surpasses the experience you get from XP, don’t know exactly, but both my XP Pro and Vista Premium have the exact same hardware configurations, and Vista outperforms it for boot up, shutdown, and launching and using day to day programs such as Office 2007. XP only really out shines Vista in games, because frankly hardware drivers(fricken nVidia) and the games are not optimized for it yet(some though perform exceedingly well like Oblivian, others like FEAR are absolutely unbearable).
