I'm rather tempted to do that, but unfortunately the installation and uninstallation of SP1 takes a good forty-five minutes to an hour, and I simply don't have the time to spend doing that today.

SP1 has greatly improved performance for me and almost everyone else I've talked to. Let's not forget to mention that almost all software compatibility issues have been resolved and that it's genuinely more secure than XP. But I guess Slashdot can't go a day without posting an anti-Vista story!

What the hell is YOUR problem? I mean, SP1 improves performance a bit, but not enough to make file copying 19 minutes and 57 seconds faster.

Firefox 3 is Acid2 compliant, if you didn't know.
Ha ha, I can't believe I didn't notice that. Disregard my previous post, I suck cocks.

I used Sitting Outside Wal-Mart for Eight Hours and got a Wii in November.
The fact that this was modded insightful brings tears of joy to my eyes.
