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 Most troubles were caused by using outdated XP-style machines with little ram and slow HDD.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. /gustav -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] På vegne af Jim Lawrence Sendt: 13. marts 2013 03:44 Til: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Emne: Re: [dba-Tech] What if Microsoft... 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.
