Windows "Does performance suck on Vista when compared to XP? That's what I was set out to find out. I was worried at first, since the performance in Beta 2 was quite bad. While there is indeed a performance decrease, it's quite minimal as you'll find out."

My lifetime for PC's are 5 years. I refuse to update constantly just because of sloppy "commercial quality" coders.

The problem is that companies are "forced" to maximise profit constantly, leading to fast development of application solutions rather than to development of fast application solutions. (See the small, yet huge difference?)

Hi-Fi systems are different, since people tend to know better, somehow. Probably the lack of blinking GUI things ;) - that said, a real Hi-Fi system is a DYI-project ;)

5 years? I *just* 'upgraded' from a pentium 3 600mhz coppermine slot1 tower to a 2.8pentium 4 ;) And I only did that because I had enough spare parts from junk machines people gave me to built it without buying any hardware ;)

I'd still be happily using my pentium 3 if I hadn't gotten that one last dead computer... ;)

Now my grandmother is using that tower and loves it.

I might reply to myself that "commercial quality" code can also be found in FLOSS. OpenOffice, eclipse, monodevelop and Azureus are some of them.
