New tests have revealed that Windows XP with the beta Service Pack 3 has twice the performance of Vista, even with its long-awaited Service Pack 1.

Actually I also tested it myself. As a former system programmer and an advanced user (I believe I'm) I noticed a serious slowdown on Vista comparing with XP. I was testing it on Core2Duo/2Mb/Asus P5B/GeForce 9600

Also be sure to read this: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Forge...ft-58752.shtml - a very interesting info...

These are facts. Everything else like "I feel...", "I think..." etc is just a bullshit. Benchmark is the king!

FYI: every newly installed copy of Windows works a way much faster than the one which was working for months because of HDD fragmentation, registry fragmentation etc. To compare XP and Vista you have to compare only 2 just installed copies. Never try to compare newly installed system with the old-working one!

And one more quote from http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Windows/Mic...s-up-on-Vista/ :
