bit for the relatively puny specs (northwood at 3.4 / 533 / 512, Quadro
video, 512 megs of memory) Things run about as fast as the XP Pro that
preceded it.
The built-in defrag utility is a step back IMO. I tried running it from a
command line inhopes of greater detail and just got starting and ending
statistics, and no way of estimating the the operation. Dumb messages like
"...this operation may take from several minutes to several hours" aren't
informative at all. I miss my Perfect Disk. Then I got a note saying that
Diskeeper was out for Vista, but the version I downloaded wouldn't install.
Can someone point me to it? Thanks...
I'm another Vista user who finds the OS interesting, but annoying. In its
attempt to make this OS more mac-like, it seems like they've added all these
protective layers and explications between the user and the programs. I
don't need to have the rules of Solitaire explained to me. Parts of Vista
really seems like Windows for Dummies. OTOH it looks good and is fairly
stable at this point. I'll keep slogging at it, but I'd really prefer that
they'd put some of this development into the XP Pro 64 bit I run at work, a
much-maligned OS that's being marginalized by the Vista hubub...
