I wanted to say it two days ago, but anyway:
Week ago I have finally left Vista Ultimate 64-bit and, once again, installed Windows 7 64-bit Beta Build 7000. I wanted to say a few things about Vista after being with it for about three months – I guess I am eligible to speak about it. At first, Vista was far much better than XP – I liked the new, sleek design, shortcuts on sidebar, big icons on desktop and stuff. It wasn’t slower too! For the first ~50 days it was completely fine. Then it started to slowly… Slow down. That is probably the Only drawback on Vista I can point out.
The problem is that Vista gets slow faster than XP. On XP I could work for around half a year without reinstalling, but Vista needs it after, let’s say, one and half of a month. It is much less resistant to installing stuff on it. But that’s really it. I don’t understand people all over crying out loud “VISTA SUXORZ!!!111one” without even trying it for more than 5 seconds. I guess there is one other, hidden problem with this o/s – hardware incompatibilities. While it works fine on my hardware, it might produce nothing but gibberish on other computers/notebooks, not because they are faster or slower, but because Vista is not getting along with all drivers. But it didn’t occur to me so hey, that makes it for once I actually was LUCKY with stuff involving electricity :D.
I won’t, however, recommend it to anyone – if you feel like trying it for yourself then you are welcome! But don’t say it is [put some offending/vulgar words here] without even trying it.
So, not wanting to install Vista again, because I would end up having to reinstall it in a couple of months, I got back to Windows 7. I finally found the Show Desktop butto (^^;) but the new localization kind of sucks. More opinions about it are to come when I will be reinstalling/uninstalling it.

Yes, I know what you mean about Vista – it can definitely slow down much quicker than XP does. After using Win7 for about a month (with quite a lot of stuff installed since), everything is still running as fast as I like it to be – so we will see what the next month brings I guess :D

Lucky you. I am using Win 7 for less than a week now, and it already starts to slow down more than Vista after two months. Maybe I shouldn’t have installed these Microsoft updates… ^^;
OR maybe it was this SPC2Mid converter which forgot to prune the memory and was consuming, barely, 99% of my CPU, which I just spotted in task manager :D
