So what's useless?? Once you get a clue how it works, it's far more
powerful than XPs.
I also wonder about all of these people who want to make Vista "faster" by
stripping it of everything that makes it better than XP. For them, the
ideal machine is one that does no tasks at all! If it isn't doing anything,
it isn't spending any CPU cycles doing anything either. Then instead they
would whine about Microsoft designing a computer system that doesn't do
anything.
A lazy machine will always be faster than a hard working machine. But the
hard working machine will do much more for the user. For example, the
indexing service makes Vista's new awesome search features possible.
SuperFetch loads programs into RAM before you need them so that they load
much faster when you finally do access them. And so on. Moreover, Vista
does these tasks in the background on low priority when the machine is
otherwise idle anyway.
