I've been running XP Pro at home and work for years. I like it. It works well.

I just got a new PC that has Vista. Vista does kick butt. I haven't had any problem. It's really fast. Yes, my new PC has much higher specs than the old, so it should be fast, but wow, despite the new "pretty" features, Vista is still really fast.

I was browsing the web looking for ways to tweak vista to make it as fast as possible (I alwasy do that with all software). I found a few sites that said "turn off this, and turn off that". I then found this article that explains why turning off a lot of the new features is either unecessary or counter productive.

I went ahead and turned most of the stuff back on that I had turned off and didn't notice a speed hit.

So far, Vista seems pretty good.
