Re: Will Vista stall Net traffic?
said by RayW  :On the work front, we are being forced to upgrade our 2K laptops (and all other Intel systems I am told) at work (US government) to XP. Kind of stupid, 400 MHz processors with 128 Meg of memory running XP? Been there. Still have several at work. On 4GB hard drives. They run. (Strictly speaking, they run. Very poorly.)
I've had XP for less than a year, and I have too many other drains on my resources right now to upgrade to Vista. I think that's one of the major reasons this stalling claim is overblown. There won't be much at first, and perhaps it will push those who need to upgrade backends to do it.

Old laptops like that run just fine if you learn to tweak the startup and graphics processing...I'm on XP on a Celeron 300 w/90 mb of ram. Unless you NEED quicktime, shockwave, and flash for work, it does what it's supposed to. |

XP modified may run just fine, but what is the point in upgrading 500+ stand alone laptops used as test controllers and diagnostic aids from 2K to XP, except to give Gates and company more money/pay back of bribes? 2K worked fine WITHOUT TWEAKING. This is $50000+ (granted, a mere drop in the bucket for the feds) in YOUR tax dollars wasted for no value added (not counting the $100/hour labor rate to do the updates and testing, plus any application changes required).
