I tried a couple of the release candidates for Vista.  Mainly, the last 
two.  Both were, without a doubt, the slowest, most memory hogging 
pieces of crap I have ever had the experience to use.  I have an old HP 
715, 80MHz UNIX box that is faster with its gui than Vista was on a P-4 
with 2 gigs of ram and a 256meg Radeon video card.  When my wife and I 
bought the eldest grandchild a laptop for college the first thing I did 
was clear off Vista and install XP.  That laptop had a dual core 2.66 
Intel chip, 2 gigs of ram and 512megs on the video.  Vista is the worst 
thing M$ has done.  It is worse than ME.  That is why I will use XP on 
the boxes where I have to use M$.
