I'm sure you realize that Linux "blowing the doors off of Microsoft
operating systems" has nothing to do with whether XP is faster than
Vista.

Of course. But if someone is going to make the ridiculous claim that XP is
faster than *Vista*, they'd better at least try to back it up by claiming
that the hardware is identical. But then if they were dual-booting or
triple-booting like I am, they would NOT be stupid enough to post that they
believe XP is faster than Vista. It's simply not true. -Dave

There are thousands of people who disagree with you.

And I'm another one. We've got a dual boot XP/Vista box, and especially in
gaming, XP is faster. The difference isn't so noticable in Office apps, and
TBH I'm not really bothered - the PC is always gonna be waaay faster than I
can type a document in Word, regardless of the O/S. And if an app opens a
couple of seconds faster in one O/S compared to another, who gives a shit?

And that's exactly why newsgroups like this are so popular. There are
thousands of people who can fuck up a simple OS install. If XP and Vista
are both properly installed and configured, Vista boots faster, and the two
operating systems run the same speed, you can't say that one is faster than
the other. But Vista does definitely boot faster. -Dave
