Vista is? Posted by 79-900t [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Vista is actually faster than XP, AdamB ![]() ![]() |
So I read through the article that you have linked. I haven't heard much about Vista and was intrested to find out more. However I did not find where it was faster than XP.
"In the all-important metric of performance, Vista has managed to sit solidly in the middle. Benchmarked performance on the whole is neither generally above XP nor is it below - not that we were expecting it to be higher, but we certainly wouldn't mind." from http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdoc.aspx?i=2917&p=20 paragraph 7
The new search would be a good reason to upgrade and that maybe the reason why I decied to make the switch as search in XP works but isn't very good. The slower network performace will cause a big problem as I work off of a network with large files and according to http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdoc.aspx?i=2917&p=9 Vista is 25-50% slower than XP.
From the sounds of it Vista is tring to be like MacOS X which I am not a fan of the and thus do not own a Mac. But then agian I have a simple black background, and all my windows are set to view details as I don't care about the icon or need a thumbnail but I am sure with enough turning off of options I can get it to work for me.
Thanks for the link to more info.
