A friend of mine repairs PCs and he had a laptop in to have some software installed on it (I know.. but if they want to pay for such a simple service, that's up to them :)). When he got it, the machine hadn't even been unpacked yet. When I saw it, it was turned on for the third time - ever. It took 4 minutes to load. He opened the Control Panel. It took 3 minutes from clicking the mouse until Control Panel was usable! This was a 2ghz machine with 1Gb RAM. Allegedly within Vista's specification. Like hell it is.... I'll have my head replaced with a carrot before Vista ever goes on my computers!
