More Evidence That XP is Vista's Main Competitor

Posted by Zonk on Monday November 26, 2007 @12:15AM from the xtc-vs-adam-ant dept.

Ian Lamont writes "Computerworld is reporting that Windows XP Service Pack 3 runs MS Office 10% faster than XP SP2 — and is 'considerably faster' than Vista SP1. XP SP3 isn't scheduled to be released until next year, but testers at Devil Mountain Software — the same company which found Vista SP 1 to be hardly any faster than the debut version of Vista — were able to run some benchmarking tests on a release candidate of XP SP3, says the report. While this may be great news for XP owners, it is a problem for Microsoft, which is having trouble convincing business users to migrate to Vista."

How is this Apple bigot being insightful? He just claimed that apple charges for service packs. What douchebag calls Apple's bugfix releases a service pack? The kind that thinks that MAJOR operating system upgrades are also service packs.

Look, to each his own. If you prefer the Windows way, go for it, it's your choice and your freedom, but leave the brain dead asshatery at home.
