A bit off topic, really, but here goes.
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? Yes, we've tried the Advanced Settings
where you turn off all the stupid "visual effects" that seem to exist to
entertain small children.
Apparently most people buy a new OS purely for this.
There must be a lot of computers owned by small children
