With Vista, Microsoft is addressing what's become a sad truth for most people: PCs run more slowly over time. Vista will automatically de-fragment hard disks, make better use of memory to more quickly load programs, and include a new performance control panel that will identify performance bottlenecks, according to the company. Elsewhere, ActiveWin hosts widescreen, high-res screenshots of Vista.

Yeah, been there and done that, too. Using window managers and browsers other than the default is just another way to make yourself suffer an endless string of 3rd party product failures.
You want to know the best one I ever saw? I changed my Windows XP clock to display "a" and "p" instead of "AM" and "PM." This caused one piece of software to refuse to even run the installer. It claimed it did not support non-American versions of Windows!!
That's using a FEATURE that is BUILT IN to CUSTOMIZE the system the way the USER WANTS. I didn't hack or do anything that is not OFFERED by the OS and it BROKE the installability of software (this is a Windows installer, not some custom home brew thing - it was a product made with VB).
