>From the limited exposure I've had to Vista (Home Basic) "client use". A "Clean" install on the same hardware (P4 2GHz, 512MB Ram, 80G drive, nVidia graphics) it run's at about half the speed of XP(Home) in just about all respects. Whatever tweaks you do to it.
Where'd the "Wow" go? Less than impressed (we re-installed XP as a result, did all the updates, and the same machine really rocks again!) Of course, the reseller will not take it back as the box is opened, will hang on to it till we can get something bigger better and much faster to load it on.
