Speeding up Vista
I came across this feed entry and thought it was humorous that even with all the technological benefits of Vista, the steps are vaguely familiar.

There is no magic bullet, and one of the suggestions is even rebooting - something that I thought Vista was supposed to help with. Odd that all of the suggestions are the same as if running XP. I guess a Windows OS is the same, no matter what skin it runs:)
Now I am bashing a bit on Vista, but for the most part it is good. I have my issues with it, and go through my "I want to wipe and install XP" rant every other week or so. Actually, as I write this and contemplate, I can't think of anything I use during my day to day work that Vista does better or helps me with.
I have issues mapping network drives with alternate credentials, getting Vista to recognize that an offline resource is online and forcing it to use the live copy and not the cached offline copy. Networking in hotels is horrible. I have gotten so frustrated that I have just given up and resorted to surfing and mail through my phone instead of my laptop. Also, half of the time I have issues with the display setting when connecting to projectors and it is hit or miss whether it extends properly and sets a correct screen resolution, let alone detect that there is even a projector connected.
O well, enough ranting... I have to reboot :)
