re: #337 Varek Raith

Did you know most of the PCs/laptops sold with Vista had insufficient hardware to properly run it?

This is key. Vista is a fine OS, but the feature set that is enabled by default is riduclously heavy and bound to bog down slower computers.

It is possible to tweak vista such that it isn’t so unwieldy and annoying, but it is Microsoft’s failure that the defaults are so poorly set up.
