Unplayably slow on Vista?

Run a Microsoft OS before SP1??

I wouldn't drive without a seatbelt, either.

lol, I just upgraded to XP within the last year, and I will fight tooth and nail to keep Vista out of the courthouse where I work for at least the next year, and hopefully two if possible.

Why would anyone downgrade to Vista?
I'm running Win2kPro at home and XPPro on my laptop and at work. I still prefer 2k. All the machines that we downgraded to Vista for testing purposes had to be reinstalled with XP because our software doesn't work properly.

My advice: Reinstall an older version of Windows, dual boot, if you don't want to loose Vista completely (in case of SPs in a couple of years).

Vista is overall a bad idea for any current and/or old games... people should check the benchmark differences verses WinXP and Win2K before upgrading.
