Vista is a bloated pig

Kissing Microsoft's ass here at CP won't do you much good - you're gonna have to find a forum actually run by Microsoft to realize any potential benefit.

I call this article pure rubbish. And it appears over and over again. Number of threads is meaningless as the whole article. [Update]What's next "benchmark"? Number of files in Windows directory?

What about "Vista still takes 40% longer to execute the OfficeBench test script"? Is that meaningless too?

I can agree there a bit. Companies do often just look at the hardware and say 'wow, I can really push this stuff' without looking at the real value that the new fancy stuff adds. The ballence though is looking at the new hardware that people will buy and making use of it just enough to make them feel that the added expense was worth it but not to push it so far that the new hardware starts to quickly feel as slow or worse as the older hardware was. It should all be about perceived value and quite often I think that gets missed somewhere between the idea and the implementation.

Yes and 87% of people think I'm right. Satisfied now?

I call BS on that, with adequate hardware I've yet to find an app that didn't run faster on Vista than XP on identical hardware given time for Vista's caching mechanisms to kick in which is what I think most reviewers with an axe to grind purposefully do *not* do.
