John makes a good point here. For instance, one of the major performance hogs under Windows is that stupid "Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching" -- it should be titled "Allow Indexing Service to slow your hard disk to a crawl every time you change, delete, or add a file".
I turn ALL that stuff off, including the Microsoft Office "Startup" junk, the customized menus, etc.
None of that stuff is worthwhile and it
all penalizes the user.
What is Microsoft thinking? Obviously, they're
not thinking, and
that's the problem.
