On a better computer, Vista is amazing in some ways. My friend and I decided to test and compare on his spare computer. The most noticable difference with Vista is file transfer time. It took 3 hours to copy about 10gig onto his External using XP, but Vista took less than 45 minutes. I was amazed.

But yes, for 90% of people, Vista sucks. And I use XP.

That doesn't have much to do with the OS...

Different hard drives have different transfer times, not to mention the type of connection it uses is also a factor in it's transfer speed. (PATA / SATA).

If you simply used a "spare computer" it was likely to have an older model Hard drive with a lower RPM than that of a more modern one.
