Re: Slowness of Windows Vista

Ok, made that mistake. Of course I meant 4GB.
I also changed to plain text, Sorry about this.

Otherwise, the hope is for W7 in October. I ordered it. Will probaby install
the 64-bit version.

4 MB of RAM was common in 1994.

Today many have 4 GB of RAM, or more!

I'm very surprised you got it to run at all with 4MB of RAM.

Whatever, I did to accelerate the start up of Vista did not help at all.
Whether killing services, ditching the sidebar, cleaning up etc. etc. the
startup still takes up to two minutes. As opposed to it, the shutdown takes
only 10 secs. I really do not understand what is wrong with the start up. As
an example, today the usual security updates etc. from MS installed which
required a restart. From the moment the restart started (shutdown finished
in 10 secs) to full availability of the desktop, it took more than 3
minutes. This is ridiculous. My laptop has 4MB of RAM and a 2.0 GHz AMD CPU.
I think that should be enough to make it faster.

I hope Windows 7 resolves that issue.

Thanks for the plain text. It is much more readable in news group readers.
As far as HTML goes - what pleases you may not please others, even with your

I agree with you completely, but I'd just like to add that many
newsreaders let you get all messages in plain text regardless of how
they are sent. I use Forte Agent, and read everything in plain text.

Right! Not to mention that html can contain malicious code.
