| Dear Mr. Magee,
|
| I maintain an office of PCs, and have noticed that XP computers to be
| going slower than ever. This is including newly formatted & reinstalled
| units with all updates.
|
| With the cool reception that vista has gotten, I do not think that MS
| is above releasing 'security' patches that also happen to slow down
| your XP computer, in order to sell more new vista machines. MS is
| desperate to move people from XP to their less shackeled new OS.
|
| I can't benchmark or otherwise look into this issue, but perhaps some
| of your readers could investigate. If it were true, it would be quite
| a scandal.
