Do have any information on this? I read a few things in usability circles about the poor UI implementation of file copy under Vista - the point in that area was that although file copies were actually about the same speed apparent speed (due to the UI changes) was slower. One of my very favorite (really, it's awesome) blogs had a nice piece about it: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001058.html The graph in that article is amazing... I'm considering getting it done as a poster. A testament to human perception! Tests are all over the map - from no difference (my machine, for example, showed essentially no difference between XP and Vista file copies) to some difference, but I've not seen anything that shows 80% (or anything that shows XP as 80% faster in the first place). > This also includes all the fixes including all the graphics fixes for > Nvidia and ATI Cards under Vista, which you probably would only notice > if you played games on Vista after playing them on XP and saw the poor > framerates. I never did see "poor" framerates compared to XP... perhaps a 1-3% drop which went away (for me) with the first major update from nVidia. The only game that's ever really chugged on my machine (at my native LCD resolution, which is my target) is "Crysis"... luckily that just wasn't such a great game. ;^) > And to think, all this pain for Microsoft and their users was caused > by kow towing to the RIAA and the MPAA who wanted numerous security > and DRM solutions built into the OS. The only one that I know of was HDCP... and Apple has that as well (they really have no choice: to play new HD content you have to support it). Are there others?
