Windows Some testing by the exo.performance.network research staff shows that SP1 provides no measurable relief to users saddled with sub-par performance under Vista.

Certainly not the operating system I chose to use.

But you see, you did upgrade. So case closed.

I'm sorry, case closed how? People upgrade for all sorts of reasons; computers die, get written off, stolen or lost etc. I didn't "upgrade" at all, technically. I needed a laptop so I bought one second hand.

See, because of Vista, you have a nice grunty machine to do the tasks of what I expect a 4 year old computer to do just as well.

No, not because of Vista.

If Vista was not even released, I'd be still running that same configuration. And even more, as I said, I'd soon upgrade to quad-core and even more memory, better video card, etc. Vista or not, hardware is cheap these days.
