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.

Well it looks like I am having the last laugh at your expense. So you back up your argument by linking to either blogs (worthless), dead links, or the same article printed elsewhere. How dense does one have to be to see that this so called "survey" is worthless.
First, online polls: Nobody uses them for real research for a reason. Don't be lazy, figure this one out for yourself.
Second, look who is doing the research. Again, figure this one out for yourself. Give you a hint, Kace is NOT a research company, their methods of conducting this survery would be laughed out at from any credible research firm.
Sorry, but this is just too f***king obvious that it does not even warrant a response. This pathetic article and the subsequent response are not only laughable, but really just shot any credibility you will ever have. You are a fanboy and zealot, and as such your opinion is worth as much as one grain of salt.
Again, why do you even care about Vista? Are you obsessed? Why don't you just stick to Ubuntu where you can impress all you HS friends on how cool you are that you use an alternative OS. Then watch your HD movies on your DRM free OS, and you have nothing in the world to complain about. If your Ubuntu is just so perfect, why do you care? My god, I do not give a rat's ass about OSX and Apple, so I certainly do not waste my time thinking about Apple.

It is not worthless if it is all over the net.

It is worth it just for the exposure of the Vista problems, and the fact that there IS an alternative.
I don't care about Vista, and I do stick to Ubuntu. I thought that was obvious.
However, this site is "OSNews", and this thread topic is "Vista SP1 a Performance Dud".
Therefore, I am 100% on-topic if I try to tell people that they do have a perfectly viable alternative, as reported widely in the trade press, and they don't have to put up with the rubbish that is Vista.
I don't care about Vista. I do care about people, I don't like to see people get ripped off by an abusive megacorps, and I want to try to help those poeple find an alternative, and I won't stand by and let shills put people off of trying alternatives through spreading FUD and lies.
Oh, and you might try arguing against the points raised, rather than trying to put down your opponent.

Your post (to which this is a reply) actually hurts your credibility, not mine.

I think you are on to something there ...
Actually, it isn't normally an effective response, but I did find it useful to counter a suggestion that just one (by implication biased) journalist was saying something skewed by posting a number of links to recent articles from different journalists saying more-or-less the same thing.
