The Advantages of Upgrading From Vista To XP 765
An anonymous reader passes us a blog posting, which may be just a bit tongue-in-cheek, about the pros and cons of upgrading from Vista to XP. "...there is only one conclusion to be made; Microsoft have really outdone themselves in delivering a brand new operating system that really excels in all the areas where Vista was sub-optimal. From my testing, discussions with friends and colleagues, and a review of the material out there on the web there seems to be no doubt whatsoever that that upgrade to XP is well worth the money. Microsoft can really pat themselves on the back for a job well done, delivering an operating system which is much faster and far more reliable than its predecessor. Anyone who thinks there are problems in the Microsoft Windows team need only point to this fantastic release and scoff loudly."

Now only if they would start charging for service packs, that would really add to share holder value.

To test memory usage and see if it actually made any difference, I launched 60 separate Firefox windows. I went to each one and pointed them to pages that had animations etc. Played video on a couple. With all that going on, Ubuntu was using about 700MB of memory and only running the CPUs at about 50%.
I've got all the eye candy like the cube and fire effects turned on. How can Microsoft need SO much more resources to do essentially the same thing? To be fair to them, they have good programmers and experience - they should definitely be able to compete in this area.
Next upgrade is even more exciting........ (Score:5, Funny)

I think we all know better than to pay much attention to what foreign amateurs, writing in blogs have to say. If they knew anything, they'd be paid experts.

I've heard it's taking off like gangbusters.
Even has a GUI and all.
Some Finnish kid, though.
Sounds un-American to me, doing stuff for free. The American way is to pay through the nose for stuff that doesn't work. Gotta buy American or the Chinese will own everything. including the oil. Or maybe the Finnish. (Never gonna use any cell phone except Motorola.)

I've been using Vista since February and once file copy performance issues were sorted out, I have nothing bad to say about it.
