http://apcmag.com/8373/vista_sp1_up_to_86_faster


I told everyone here that Vista SP1 is around that much faster, but of
course it still is slower than XPSP2
not to mention XPSP3 that is even faster.

I have been using SP1 with Vista Business edition for several weeks and I do
not see any difference in performance.

LOL, my new Santa Rosa MacBook came with a lot of useless iCrap that I wish
I did not have to pay for!
BTW, Vista SP1 runs great on the MacBook via VMware Fusion.

Rubbish. SP3 is merely a rollup of existing patches, plus some very minor
polishing. There is nothing in it to alter its speed.

Temper temper.....

"Since SP3 was supposed to be mostly a bug-fix/patch consolidation release,
the unexpected speed boost comes as a nice bonus," Barth said. "In fact, XP
SP3 is shaping up to be a 'must-have' update for the majority of users who
are still running Redmond's not-so-latest and greatest desktop OS."

According to the Office performance benchmarks, Windows XP SP3 is also
considerably faster than Vista SP1. "None of this bodes well for Vista,
which is now more than two times slower than the most current builds of its
older sibling," said Barth.

It isn't considerably faster across the board at all, but internet and
network performance may be marginally better than before because of the
inclusion of a network bug fix..

im just happy to see that people are holding on to the best version of
windows ever, XP,
and that ms will be releasing Ie8 for XP too.
This is irregular.. for example they did not let ie7 be installed on win2k

on xp they let ie7 ie8 and if windows7 is a flop too, ie9 too to be
installed on XP.. lol

There's a new course I'd like to recommend.

Punctuation! It's Not Just for Smiley Faces. A Beginner's Guide to
Elementary Sentence Structure.
