Microsoft Responds to Re-Discovery of Vista Network Slowdowns
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 27th Aug 2007 22:21 UTC
Windows A curious network performance reduction noticed by many Windows Vista users of the 2CPU forum that became the talk of Slashdot last week has been identified as having been caused not by DRM, as Slashdot users expected, but by a curious prioritization 'feature' of Vista that's intentionally biased toward Media Player at the expense of network and system resources.

He's taking about all the processing power you need to run Vista. You know, Dual Core, 2 gigs of ram etc.

It is something to hang your hat on. I mean if a Dual Core can't run an MP3, somethings up.

That's what he and to a certain extent, I, are saying.

LOL
I see my previous post was modded down to -3.
God forbid that anyone dare ask someone to clarify what point he's trying to make. Just as long as the point appears to be MS-bashing, it need not be clear, just that it's MS-bashing is merit enough for the point to stand on its own, no matter how vague or cloaked in innuendo it may be.

Two people have "called BS" on Russinovich's analysis, and they refuse to clearly say why, and any request that they make their reasons plain is modded down by those that can't stand to have an actual discussion on the issues.
