Windows "There's a new way to enhance your cache in Vista - simply plug in your Flash memory stick. But how much performance gain can you really expect? TG Daily ran an average PC through a benchmark parcours and discovered that the old rules still apply: There is no substitute for an adequate amount of system memory. Period."

Unlike some people I don't mod people down because they had a problem, and having a problem with something that is part of the topic (Operating Systems, and Vista specifically) is hardly off topic.

This entire site is dedicated to operating systems. The topic is "ReadyBoost," so the discussion should be related to memory management and its effects on Vista performance. This doesn't include comments of the type: "I tried Vista, and I like XP better."

Everybody here knows that Vista has some issues that prevent it from being a smart upgrade decision for many users at this point. There are enough stories linked from OSNews that discuss these issues in general, so they don't have to be rehashed in response to a story about a specific Vista feature.

I respect your willingness to help people with their problems. But the he didn't ask for help, he simply said he didn't like Vista. That earned him (at the moment) a mod score of 5. Are you folks happy? Because I'd like to think we can do better than this.

If you don't like my comment, then move along, simple as that. I honestly couldn't care less what you think is proper or improper.

I didn't ask him the question in order to help him (though if I could be of assistance, I would help). I asked him because I happen to be a beta tester for many products, including Vista and now Longhorn server.
