I got rid of a couple of the programs that I did not need,over 200 MBPS but didn't help.

I have been running XP Pro for years, and even if I have enough horsepower to upgrade, I will stay away. Thank you.

Vista has been around a long time and it still sucks. Vista SP1 was released this year, 2008, and it's still slower than XP, which I still use, and still bloatware.Microsoft have at last made a veiled admission that they made mistakes with Vista. (IMO releasing it was the main one.)On the horizon now is Windows Seven; which is scheduled for release in 2009. - It looks good, is nowhere near as bloated as Vista, and might just save Microsoft from the doldrums: Some people have been turning to Mac and Linux lately because of Vista. All Vista did was to demonstrate how good XP was and give alternative operating systems a boost.As an example of this; five times more of my blog's visitors currently use XP than use Vista: That speaks volumes about Vista.

If your OS has to be on a DVD, it's too big. I agree, I haven’t touched Vista mainly because its 1) new (which means subject to bugs and instability) and 2) has a lot of bloatware on it.
