I think it's time to go class action on Vista. I have 2 new Dells with 2 gb of RAM and neither run nearly as well as my 3 year old Dell with XP. All the updates are installed and still one of them never goes to sleep. If you force it to sleep, it never wakes up. Crashes are more frequent on both machines than the old one.
Microsoft should be embarrassed for reproducing another ME, and some insider emails indicate they are fully aware of problems. But it seems like all they do is introduce another new OS and then declare the one you just bought obsolete. I have owned every OS they have made, and I am really tired of the false hope they continue to feed us. Is Microsoft really this inept? Don't they test this stuff on store bought machines. There is nothing special about the Dells I bought, just loaded with tons of hardware horsepower that seems to be a total waste.
