I have been a big supporter of Vista since it first came out, However with SP1 my network transfer speeds have been pretty much cut in half I was getting about 5MB/second pre SP1 and now i get 2-2.5MB/second. This could be the straw that makes me downgrade to XP, I hate to say it but slow transfer speeds are a killer for me I really had high hopes SP1. Oh and before the fanbois start claiming that it has to be my network causing the problems just know I am a Cisco Certified network engineer running all cisco equipment in my house so NO its not my network, its Vista.
Thats odd, my transfers between my Gigabit (to a DIR-655) connected desktop and another desktop in another room with Wireless N adapter reach up to 7.6MBytesps.
Im not even joking either. Im transferring an MK...i mean a media file right now from the other desktop to mine.
BTW: Both on SP1. One is Ultimate, one is Business (thanks Univ. for the free software).
I had something like that with WinXP once.. but that appeared instantly... I had (still have) a Linksys router.I don't know exactly what caused it, but I updated the firmware, uninstall stupid Firewall software. Clean my connectors, ensured that all the plugs are well placed (I had remake the plug at the end for some cables), and that totally fixed my issue. In fact, I saw a greater network speed.

It has to be your network causing all the problems

hey just becuase you're a Cisco Certified network engineer doesn't mean it's vista it could be that you're bad at your job.
