Ireally like Vista, and I do find it much more responsive. I never get
that
jerky sound with JAWS, I used to get with XP anymore, and things do open
quicker.
One suggestion for everybody I didn't realize though.
When turning off the computer, don't shut it down, just put it to sleep.
That is what you are supposed to do unless you are opening your computer
for
any reason, turning the power off, or your not going to use it for
several
days.
Once you put it to sleep, it goes in to hibernation after a while and
doesn't use really any energy at all.
I've been shutting mine down, and most times doing that, it will tkae
much
longer than XP to boot. But you only use this in exceptional
circumstances
