My Cat Is Twice As Fast As My Dog, Just FYI

 

The Other Day My Cat Ran Across The Room After The Dog, Just FYI And The Cat

Got To The Other Side Twice As Fast As My Dog.

 

I Can See How XP Is Twice As Fast As Vista. I Am Using Windows 2008 Server

On My PC. I Was Boycotting Microsoft, But Now I Like Microsoft.

Just FYI

    You can't read or what?

    It's old...and it's flawed...therefore it's not dependable as a benchmark.

    Like SIX DAYS? That's OLD?

    And would you like to explain to us less-knowledgeable people just WHY it's

    flawed?

    Just saying "it's flawed" could be you as a Vista apologist.....

    I must have hit a sensitive nerve with the Vista pundits although

    unintentional. Since reading some of the curt replies it now causes me to

    wonder even more why XP represented over 40% of MS sales of OS software this

    year. This is somewhat unprecedented I might add and is not a "flawed fact".

     

    And now with MS issuing a SP3 it would appear to me that MS now recognizes

    something that others do not.

    real information.

     

    It will be a bit of a problem for Microsoft if the reports are true.

    What is a little strange is that SP3 is supposed to be a rollup of

    updates since SP2. Real improvements was not supposed to be the name of

    the game. Now Vista SP1 does need to incorporate improvements if

    Microsoft want to see sales pick up.

    That would infer that nearly 60% was Vista. So whats the big whoopie doo

    The interesting point is not what the percentages are but that there is

    significant customer resistance to taking Vista on board. The operating

    system has improvements in some areas but definitely takes steps

    backwards in other areas. Microsoft seem to assume all customers are

    dummies to be manipulated. I am not impressed with their pricing

    strategy outside the US. As things stand I think Windows XP will remain

    a better purchase option for many users for perhaps another 3 years.

     

    However, one has to recognise that the latest gossip is about beta

    products and could be totally misleading. Microsoft has, however,

    miscalculated on the value of the changes in Vista, especially as

    regards the commercial sector. Same point seems to apply regarding

    Office 2007 although I am not conversant with the issues being still

    reliant on Office 2000.

    There's an old joke about human nature being based on studies done on mice

    and college sophomores - neither of which are human.

     

    For most commercial applications, speed is almost irrelevant. If, for

    example, Microsoft Word were five times faster, the time to compose a letter

    would drop by, um, 0.01%.

     

    The folks who fixate on speed are open source developers and dedicated

    gamers, neither of which ...

    Using two different Office apps to do the test...2007 on one machine and

    2003 on another completely negates any findings and totally makes for

    "flawed" results.
