Hi Gustav:

My daughter noticed that. She works in 3D animation and some processes can
takes hours like rendering; once the frames and the sequences have been
completed. She updated her computer from Vista to Windows7 and the
performance difference was incredible.

The "bottle-neck" appeared to be some of the Vista's drivers and methods.

Hi Jim

Put them on eBay. Vista worked well given the right hardware (which excluded
most laptops). Most troubles were caused by using outdated XP-style machines
with little ram and slow HDD.
I only changed from Vista on my home machine (Lenovo, 8 GB) to have Windows
8 running.

Hi Hans:

I have a couple Professional Vista packages, brand new, never opened. I
wonder if I should give them to Sally Anne, and wonder whether they will
keep them, attempt to sell them or will they just throw them out? (...more
dangerous than a land-mine...) ;-)

Personally, I am now waiting for Windows 9.

Jim
