I’m watching tv, only to see a commercial where windows is market testing a new os. “Holy crap” , I thought to myself, “they realized zista is shite and are already releasing a new os, thats gonna piss off some people”, but a smart move since as mentioned, vista is shite.
Then again, I’d never heard of the code name they used. Well guess waht it was vista.
So I’ve decided due to my all nighter, lack of sleep, and for everyones amusement, to tell you how my demo would have went.
I’m running a core2duo 2ghz with 4gigs of ram. I dual boot into vista 64 from time to time because, well actually i have not sane reason: I just do.

Loading vista: hmm looks kinda sweet
login screen: nice look
login: is this slower than xp?
system startup: crap this is slow
-I should note I only have firefox, antivirus, vmware, a firwall, pidgin, and the adobe web / creative suite installed. This is an install thats at best 2 months old, and rarely used.
start firefox: system hangs, kill firefox
start firefox: system hangs, wait 10 minutes
start vmware centos image: system degrades to p4 (pre ht) running xp, and under heavy load
check load : cpu 100%, ram 60%,
say crap why did I load into vista
reboot
opensuse 11 loads
I start up an xp vmachine with 313mb of ram, centos5 vmachine with 256 of ram, firefox, evolution, utorrent, gimp, pidgin, exalie, and a bunch of folders (forgot to mention opening my downloads folder almost crashes vista) including my downloads folder. Oh yeah I should mention I normally have 10-30 tabs open in firefox3.
open flash cs3, dreamweaver cs3, and virtual folders in xp
check my stats: cpu1 26%, cpu2 31%, ram 41%, swap 0%, upload 84k.
wonder why an xp machine thats barely using my cpu, and that has almost no ram out performs vista…..
and now to code, and eventually find sleep
