My problem with XP is that it is such a resource hog.
If you don't need the features, why lug all that software around?.
It's kind of like the old IBM strategy where every new generation of
OS/MVS would force a hardware upgrade. :-)

If you think XP is a hog wait until you try Vista. The machine I'm
on now is a quad-core with 4 GB of RAM. Vista is running fine on
that.

the wife seems to liker her Vista laptop, but even she says it loads
slow.


How much memory in that laptop?

What is she loading at startup?

Those two factors have a lot to do with how quickly VISTA starts up.
