Running the standard Windows firewall, AVG and Firefox (even IE7 if you’re careful), I’ve had no malware, no virus, no slowing downs. It boots faster that xp, even faster than hibernation (2GB of ram…) I just sanitized it by removing the crappy OEM software, (although I have to admit that Dell is not that bad on this point), removed all the stupid boot-time programs like QuickTime quick launch, iTunes helper, Ipod services, bonjour services, (see a trend here?). My Vista is a 1 year old Dell of rather modest performance at the time of buying, and believe it or not, it is faster that XP on many points (I got a free upgrade CD from Dell around last June). ![]() Any computer sold with Windows pre-installed, be any version of windows, is gonna be slow as hell, bloated, badly protected for malware and such… At the risk of being flamed me too, I would say Vista is actually not as horrible as some people in the blogoshpere would have it.
