i am just curious if anyone sees a substantial degradation of speed when using
vistax64/2007 vs xp/2003.

i was on the beta for both vista and office 2007, and refuse to use either.

i dual boot. when i run an app under vistax64/2007, it takes 4 seconds to
complete, while under xp/2003 it's maybe a second. i know it doesn't seem like
much, but everything i run is slower. this particular app loads and closes about
10 workbooks while it populates a schedule and does some other things. i
personally think they're both useless and i'm glad i got them for free.

someday when i feel like punishing myself, i'll install my 32 bit version of
vista and see if it's any better.
