A colleague of mine has bought a new Dell laptop, bottom of the range
model, but with Windows Vista. It runs pathetically slowly. I'm not
very familiar with Vista, and I'm tempted to advise her to demand a
refund or to format the hard disk and install XP.
Is there a setting in Vista, somewhere, to tell it to move into a
higher gear and behave exactly like XP?
Uninstall Vista and install XP - the Vista licence will cover it.
Or, more easily, put more memory in. 1GB minimum for Vista.
Oh, I don't know. I'm running Vista Ultimate quite happily on my
1.6Ghz Pentium M laptop with 768MB. Granted, I don't get the bells and
whistles that I get on my more souped up desktop machine, but it seems
to perform as well as XP so far. Being the cautious type though, I'm
not activating it until I've given it a more thorough testing :-)
