Vista's a slow arse ..... good funtionality on the network pages, allows you to interogate connected interfaces easier, sp1 doesnt make any difference to any type of improvement of speed,
but I prefer xp essential, last cracked edition with all crap removed and replaced with some good tools :roll:
happy dayz .... party ....

ok...except 100% of our business software won't run on Mac.

So it's XP...or pen and paper!

Windows Vista - the best bit of advertising Apple could have ever asked for. :bash:

Our office was one of the first in this area to have desktop PC's and i've always gone for the upgrades and new products when they have been available but Vista and Office 2007 have destroyed that. I've never found such a piece of engineering for it's own sake only before. I maintain 20+ pc's at work but i now have an Apple Mac at home and won't go back to Windows. I use the remote desktop to access office machine when i "need" a PC for business software.

Nice one microsoft.
