The last 2 days, I was playing around with a Toshiba Tecra A9 laptop...Core 2 Duo, 1 GB of
RAM, Windows Vista Business Ed....and I have to admit I was none too impressed at how slow the thing was, even compared to my rather old-generation μ-Blaze M-ATX computer and it's P4 Northwood 3.0
GHz, 800
FSB, 1 gig
RAM...Vista took MUCH longer to boot up. And it seemed everything I tried to open, I had to wait an extra few seconds for its window to appear. And that was *after* I spent a few hours tweaking Vista for better performance! It's really a shame that a computer with that much better hardware performed that much slower. Way to go, Microsoft! Maybe I'll have to do like everyone else and buy a 4 GB USB stick just so Vista will boot as fast as a computer running hardware from 2 years ago.
