Playing Music Slows Vista Network Performance?
An anonymous reader writes "Over the months since Vista's release, there has been no doubt about the reduced level of network performance experienced compared to Windows XP. However, some users over at the 2CPU forums have discovered an unexplained connection with audio playback resulting in a cap at approximately 5%-10% of total network throughput. Whenever any audio is being sent to a sound card (even, several users report, while paused), network performance is instantly reduced. As soon as the audio is stopped, the throughput begins to climb to its expected speed. It's a tough one for users — what do you pick, sound or speed? So much for multi-tasking."
I realise you FOSSies don't want to accept it, but UAC can be turned off .
You've also all complained for years about how allowing users to have root access to the OS is a bad thing and how it should require elevation to perform certain functions would make things better etc etc.
No that's happened and y'all have decided that's bad too... hypocrites.
(Of course, this being Slashdot, this statement should probably be marked "redundant").
You are a virus problem.
Yeah and when Britney Spears found out that she couldn't sing, she cut all her hair off...
