That's why I won't upgrade to Vista till at least SP1 (already in the works I understand). To be honest, I really don't see any need to do it except my curiousity. I sure wish it was faster to make me more anxious to go to Vista. Thanks Journey for your testing and conclusions. It helps the rest of us smile !! |

Did ya' know it can delete it's own files.... ?
Microsoft has admitted that speech recognition features in Vista could be hijacked so that a PC tells itself to delete files or folders. Hasta la Vista ~ bang goes the installation. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6320865.stm there's some more read ups in News n' Stuff, one guy reckons it took over 3 hours to install A Vista story.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6407419.stm I had read somewhere that a Vista installation would take 20 minutes. Not if you upgrade from XP. After three-and-a-half hours of churning, at long last the Vista logo filled my screen. It was the beginning of a day of anguish. Would waiting for service pack 1 be enough I ask..? I would have thought they would have excelled from the Xp saga and got it a little right... think this is like Xp "a Friday night rush job". So much for the party they threw for the hackers. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programme...ne/5413792.stm These are taken from articles in News n' Stuff, don't know if you seen them or not. Davy |

Mine goes faster than it did with XP. I have 512mb RAM, Pent 4HT,
integrated graphics, and a 160gb hard drive. I have experienced no problems with my computer since I upgraded, and (because I don't use it anyway) I disabled speech recognition, so it can't delete itself. Cheers Stevo |
