broco don't hate on win2k
also overblown window managers are not a mark of good graphic design, it's just hogging up resources

there's a lot of little new functionality things in Vista that add up to so much more.
Vista benchmarks equivalent to XP, so all of this perceived intensive overhead is out the window. Vista uses unused ram and extra processor cycles for all sorts of caching and prefetching so that when you want something, you get it now. That's not overhead, its making your hardware work for you, instead of sitting idle. Its not perfect, but most of the time it works rather well. Even better after SP1. When you do need all the power you possibly can throw at something, Vista dumps all of those caches freeing your ram up and prioritizes processor cycles on the main task at hand. |
I'm coming to Vista from Win2k and can say only pffffffft |
