Well... here is another one for you... it turns out that Dell has been dumbing down their Vista Installations even on their most PowerFull systems.

Yup... People who have bought powerfull Dell systems have noticed that their Vista installations has had quite of its bells and whistles disabled so that you dont notice the performance hit.

I showed my wife, how slow my laptop was for even as simple as loading and playing Solitaire!!!

It makes you wonder when an Intel Core 2 Duo  2.2Ghz @ 800Mhz Bus with 2 Gigs of Ram... cant handle the O/S Alone never mind running any applications, oh and the constant prompting...to get permission so that the O/S itself could carry out a task...that was the last straw. :)

PS: Service Pack 3 for WIndows XP Should be out soon.
