Here is the full test (I hadn't realise that it was an indirect link):
Battlemodo: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 RC1 vs. Shipping Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| …we noticed with Windows Vista was when we tried to transfer a large folder
| full of files over our 100Base-T network. While XP was able to transfer the
| 1.37GB folder containing 2606 items in a quick 3:37 (minutes/seconds), the
| Vista transfer seemed to hesitate at the end, taking a leisurely 12:58 to
| perform exactly the same copy from one PC to another over our network. Then
| when we compared the current shipping version of Vista with its upcoming
| service pack, there wasn’t much difference, with the Service Pack speeding
| things up by 0.865% in the PCMark tests.
|
| The only part of it that’s bugging us is the network file transfer speed got
| even slower in the SP1 release candidate. Also continuing that bothersome
| disk speed problem is the way Vista couldn’t read and write on that speedy
| 15,000rpm SAS drive anywhere near as fast as XP did.

Only with Microsoft can the year 2001 be better than 2008. Without competition,
there's no improvement, unless that 'improvement' is Intel's bottom line and
some extra permissions-related checks for Holywood moguls.
Computing will only improve when Microsoft gets a kick in the pants.
Speaking of cheap labour, blame Microsoft lobbyists (read: bribes that rewrite
the law). The government appears to be taking action now. Published days ago:

Bribing politicians is a MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR industry!! How on earth has this
happened?
“Gates met Noorda briefly in San Francisco to discuss the merger […] before the
merger could go forward, he said Novell had to drop its plans to buy Digital
Research. […] when Noorda raised the possibility that the Justice Department
might try to block a merger between the first and third biggest software
companies on the planet, Gates responded, “Don’t worry, we know how to handle
the federal government.” […] Gates denied every saying such a thing”

"Corruption" is written all over it, but corrupt conduct seems to have been
forged into the law. Welcome to the NWO.
