... but the only time I've connected them to the Internet was to download updates and just to run them in their own partitions to demo to others why 'not' to bother with it.
Jumped on Vista Ultimate 32/64 when it came out, and 2nd legit copy came with a Toshiba P100/400 laptop (Home Premium).
Even with 4 GB+ ReadyBoost and RAID-5 with 4 GB of RAM, it is just not getting the cache hit rates (OS Disk Cache) that WinXP and XP x64 get, so it feels really sluggish to use.
Maybe when SSD (Solid State Storage) reaches 256 GB in the next 4-6 years, by which time I hear Vista's replacement will already be 2-3 years old anyway.
~800 MB with only the OS + GUI running, too think the same guys sold DOS which ran in < 64 KB (leaving at least 576 KB + UMBs free).
Advise from me and every other tech who is trailing Vista (the < 5% buying into it to see if it is worth recommending) is:
- DO NOT BOTHER.
- CHECK ALL YOUR FUTURE HARDWARE PURCHASES ARE WinXP, WinXP x64, Linux and Mac OS 10.x compatible.
