Ok, so first off, not these links specificly, but whats in them.. and by now i could have made my own right up, but oh well. (minus some stuff in a couple links which i found, but wasn't looking for??) Why does Windows slow down eventually - Ubuntu Forums HTML: The myth of "MinWin" and a thinner Windows 7 |Windows Sentinel | Randall C. Kennedy | InfoWorld Linux.com :: Commentary: New Windows "filesystem" a threat to Open Source CNET.com.au's quick guide to Windows Vista's new file system - Operating Systems Software Yeah, so i was pretty disappointed with all they didn't do with 7, but i guess they did say 7 was going to be Vista SP2.....

Some products are just so bad, that they can't be fixed. Windows Vista is like the Lada in the car industry
