Benchmarks show that on a vast majority of systems, Vista is much slower than XP. That's a simple fact. Denying it is much like denying gravity or evolution.

Vista has some major advantages over XP, but speed is not one of them. A few years from now, it won't matter, but right now, to most people, it does.
Yes cause as a Video Editor, Video Encoder, PhotoShop heavy user, Designer, I would not know if something is faster now than it was before right? And for your info I tested out Vista in beta on a dual boot for a quite a while. I COULD NOT do a full switch yet however due to the main programs I used were not ready yet. I WAS NOT a fanboy right off. However I do remember all this exact same crap when XP came out. There will ALWAYS be a little cluster fuck of hangers on telling everyone that the newest OS is crap and they will never switch.

I went from 14 hour encodes on xp crashing midway through for no apparent reason, to 14 hour encodes on Vista running and never crashing, and it being rare to have any program crashes at all. Stability for me is awesome, and the speed compared to XP for me is faster. My benchmarks are how often something wont fuckin work, and with Vista I rarely have a problem. All you anti Vista quakers keep quaking. Ill continue on getting my work done faster with less fuck ups than I had using XP.
