I was merely remarking on how many resources it takes compared to XP, of course, I could just turn off all the fancy graphics and prettifications but then what would be the point of switching to Vista in the first place? Security? Non-issue for me. UI improvements? Not so much a non-issue, it's just that I've been using XP for a good 5 years and counting, so by now I'm used to it's flaws. GUI? I don't need pretty, pretty is nice to look at and fading stuff is fun but that was SO 2006 with Compiz / Beryl. Plus, after a while it starts feeling like you're using Vista on extra high latency. The answer is: nothing that I really care about. To be more clear, and honest, there was really no point, in the week or so that I was dual booting, at which I said to myself "I need Vista to do this" or "Vista would be better at this than XP". So I just stuck with XP. | ||

If you have a video card, your UI will be faster with Aero than without it. Search index is pretty hot, as is having monster programs like MediaMonkey and anything from Office2k7 start up instantly. You really need to give it like a month. XP inevitably slows down at that point and Vista speeds up a bit. EDIT: The way the Start menu first loads is pretty fucking stupid. I made a 'Windows Shit' folder and dragged all that crap in there. | ||
