Yep, I wonder what is up with that. This is a Mac computer wired directly into the hub with about thirty feet of cat Cat5- Could the Cat 5 be it? Not likely. Cat-5 is 10 Mbps. Way above what you are looking at. And a bad wire would limit you equally in both directions.

If Microsoft puts features in just as they ship, it won't be surprising that they won't work well. I don't think that's what they do. Right, I think that's Mike's point--that is NOT what they're doing. MS insists that Win7 is already feature-complete, and that the rest of the time will be

You are exactly right. This radical departure is just claptrap from MS's PR department. Nothing to do with engineering. The WFBs just lap it up and tell us how great the next Windows version will be. They also tell us of the greatness of Vista -- except that it has been so much misunderstood.
