MS Responds To Vista's Network / Audio Problems

quirdan writes "With the discovery last week of the connection between Vista's poor networking performance and audio activities, word quickly spread around the Net. No doubt this got Microsoft's attention, and they have responded to the issue. Microsoft states that 'some of what we are seeing is expected behavior, and some of it is not'; and that they are working on technical documentation, as well as applying a slight sugar coating to the symptoms. Apparently they believe an almost 90% drop in networking performance is 'slight,' only affects reception of data, and that this performance trade-off is necessary to simply play an MP3."

    Uhh, based on what tests? Guys in forums saying "My FTP ran at this speed before, now it runs at this speed."? That isn't a reliable metric, shocking as it may seem to people on Slashdot.

    Your lies are too obvious, you are yet another uneducated moron. Brainwashed by the Linux cult.

    XP can do LIVE CD too. It all depends on packaging.

    Why would I want a centralized place for ALL my apps? When one thing fails, they ALL fail. I'm sure you would be bitching if Microsoft did something like that just because it's Microsoft doing it. No thank you very much, you can have that for yourself.

    Linux has no "grassroot", Windows has the largest community of software and developers in the entire planet! Heck, in the entire solar system! ...You love to lie, don't ya ?

    I'm one of the few (less than 1%) of people with an IQ amount of probably two people's (like you) IQs put together.

    Your lack of knowledge screams from your entire post. Go read a book or two, it MIGHT help.

    Read my lips again : YOU sir, are the idiot.
