Replacing Vista with XP on 02?

Right...I do remember seeing the SSD vs. standard hard drive comparison on Youtube.  I'll have to search for the XP vs Vista videos.

Thanks!

No probs. Any word on your OQO yet?

I don't see how Vista can be faster than XP, I have a dual boot Vista and XP and the difference is astounding ( XP being a lot faster )

I agree. My XP runs just like a new fresh desktop computer. Vista sucked! I couldn't click the start button and open an application without waiting twenty seconds for some kind of movement. To get to the control panel took 45 seconds. It is hard for me to imagine that anyone's Vista install works fast. I reinstalled Vista twice hoping to make a difference. I just bought the digital pen and I love it even more!

I've never used XP on mine but I can honestly say that I'm having no probs with the performance of Vista. I use Control Panel all the time and have never waited 45 seconds for it to load. As I've mentioned in previous posts, I watch a lot of DivX videos and as long as I watch them using either GOM Player or Real Player then I'm fine. I also use iTunes on a daily basis (which is fairly resource intensive) and the other apps I run alongside it run fine (i.e. Thunderbird, Firefox, PDFs, et cetera). Maybe I'm just lucky.
