Contending that degraded network performance is anything but an act of utter incompetence (with or without malice) can be resolved by running Vista in a virtual machine under OS/X.
I tried it using the latest rev of Parallel's product. The results? Network performance degrades on the Vista VM but **not** on the host operating system, OS/X. This remains true even when concurrently playing the same MP3 file under Vista (VM) and OS/X (host). This test was performed on a 2GHz MacBook with 2GB RAM running OS/X rev. 10.4.10.
If you run the same test, but substitute XP for Vista, then network performance remains virtually intact while concurrently playing an MP3 file on the host OS and on the VM.
