I'm no expert on the inner workings of windows but a newly installed Vista boots and shuts down pretty fast. Then you install the essentials and soon the happiness ends.
Why oh why is it allowed for programs to preload. I rather wait for a big program to load than wait for preloading of programs that perhaps is not used that day. Even if the startup is set not to load it does not seem to matter. Somebody may know the mysterious MS thinking behind this. It eludes me.
And as said earlier in this thread, regardless of cpu power the damn OS still manages to drag it down to snail speed. This is partly why i have such big hopes for AROS. I'm about to test the new AROS 0.9.1. It's closing in on the big 1.0. I saw at the AROS EXEC that somebody have been able to get the amosaic2 working. Don't know the consequenses of this. An early first step towards internet.?? I monitoring the development of that.
Sorry for the long post.
