Yup, I'd say Vista is slow. A friend of mine has Vista and Ubuntu 7.10 on his Athlon X2 3800. Ubuntu is about 10 times quicker! Sods law though, he's one of these "I want to install as many adware based smileys as I possibly can on MSN" types. I've given up on that one until he screws Vista up so much that it won't work. He has Ubuntu 7.10 on his PC, I'll advise him to start using that. I've also heard about one of my dad's friends who has bought a Celeron PC from Tescos which is running Vista (god help it, if a dual core PC with 2GB ram can't cope, god knows what a Celeron will be like). She had problems with the McAfee Anti-Virus that Sky supplied with her broadband not working, I'm hoping that I can go over and demonstrate Ubuntu 7.10 with it's flashy effects.
