perfect timing. Ms blundered it with vista. I think vista is great but to the average joe, they hate it. One thing really isnt their fault except for buying the cheapest computer possible. A friend of mine bought a dirt cheap laptop 512 of ram and vista. well, no wonder it gets a bad rep. 75 dollars later it had 2 gig of ram and it was blazingly fast. Sure it is a little bloated but I noticed xp is requiring more ram. 512 usta run xp pretty nicely but with recent updates 1 gig is necessary but folks ram is cheap buy it.
I’ve seen a few mac vs pc tests. In most of them, the pcs ran a bit faster, but the fastest of all were when they ran Vista on mac, LOL!
