And here comes Husar to the defense of the big evil company again.

Well, my network performance in XP drops as well when I listen to music since I listen to webradio....

Ok, not much to say except that my downloads are still going fast, but then I just have a 6MBit connection on a 100MBit network.
Did you also know that vista is only optimised for up to 4 CPU cores and will not be able to use 8 cores to full extent? and did you also know that most software is still 32bit and will thus often run slower than necessary on 64 bit systems. The world is really unfair, also note that 32bit systems seem to cut off at 3GB RAM, Vista 32bit apparently recognises 4GB as 3, or so some guy in the WiC forums said.

But then it's still a lot faster to install Windows than to install Linux so I'm rather unlikely to switch, don't want to learn thousands of written commands to use my OS.

And don't forget about DX10.1, they really want to make us new graphicscards again, not to mention PCIe 2.0 wgich is designed to give more energy to graphics cards and thus has a direct impact on my electricity bill which I'm not very fond of as a student. But what can you do, stop gaming and learn all day long? Good idea, but I wouldn't learn anyway.


Now seriously, who is really affected by that? Maybe LAN parties? I see this as a bug, yes, but a rather minor one, especially compared to the registration bug that probably makes your network completely useless or something.
