Slow IE7 & File Open Dialogs on Windows Vista

| Andreas's posting sent me to this blog post by Mark Russinovich, where he

| After these experiences I totally understand companies that hesitate to roll
| out Vista, if the scenario is 50+ mobile users calling support complaining
| about problems that is by design and trust me the complains will come. When
| you have 5-15 second delays every time you try to open and file or use the
| Save as... option, off course you and your users will be annoyed and the most
| annoying thing is that you can't do anything about it.

| while not being too unfair against cpu-bound processes."
