[AccessD] Interesting Laptop / Vista commentary

I guess I have to ask what Vista brings to the table that makes it worth
having to buy a dual processor with 4 gigs just to run the system?  It damn
well better have a built in space shuttle if it is going to require those
kinds of specs.

So give us a list of what it does that XP doesn't (other than eye candy).

I have Vista Business on my pc and I love it.  I have a P4-3.0GHz, 2GB RAM,
and a 7800GS AGP video card.  Sure, there are some things that I think could
be better that I hope will be addressed in SP1.  I ran XP Pro for years, so
I am able to compare the two.  Don't forget that a lot of people really
complained about XP before SP1/SP2 came out.

I helped a friend buy a desktop with a Core 2 Duo processor and 2 gigs of
RAM and Vista is much more snappy on that machine than mine.  I think it has
to do with the dual processors.

I have a top end Dell for development.  I chose to order it with XP.  I have
Vista from the action pack but have never installed it.  I probably will
someday in a virtual machine.  In the meantime I have never even seen it to
my knowledge, not that I get out much.  But maybe it really is just an urban
legend?
