I’m not sure what ticks me off more about Leoptard…: the fact that so many of the semi-important changes don’t work, the fact that Apple turned a stable OS into a crash-happy glitz fest, or that the annoying, scruffy Live Free or Die Hard actor infecting my TV is pretending that Leopard is better than Vista. It’s not better than Vista. Leopard is Vista. And Tiger is better than both of them!
Awww, Apple boys are upset. Isn’t that a shame???

Windows Vista’s biggest fans Ed Bott & Paul Thurrott are defending Vista, again:
EB’s Article.
PT’s blog on EB’s article.
I like and respect these 2 guys. They don’t know me from Adam and I’m sure these 2 don’t care about the opinion of a peon like me but…
Sorry guys but the reason people think Vista is slower than XP is because it is. I’ve run them side-by-side on 4 different machines in my home and in every instance you can see and feel the difference. The more powerful the machine the less performance difference I have seen. I should note that some of the hotfixes for Vista have made a big difference. Some still argue that much of this may be driver issues and FWIW I agree to a point. But, It really doesn’t make any difference does it? All you and I care about is how it runs on our machine.
I would like to know what you think, and please vote in the new poll.

It’s just too funny to describe…

A reader that goes by the handle “Sacred” submitted this story about Vista SP1, RC1 being released to testers. Apparently, according to at least one benchmark it isn’t helping Vista vs. XP performance wise:
Vista, both with and without SP1, performed notably slower than XP with SP3 in the test, taking over 80 seconds to complete the test, compared to the beta SP3-enhanced XP’s 35 seconds.

Yes, I know it’s only one test. We’ll probably see more benchmarks echoing this and a few showing the opposite…
