Was suprised to find that even the lowest version of Vista allows multiple user setups each with a different desktop. Thought I would dump it but can't find a reason to go back. About the only thing I did was change the start menu from the new Vista look back to "classic".

I want to know how you guys with similarly performing machines got it to run so smoothly. I suppose it is easy to blame the OS, but I guess it was especially easy for me since I was watching the OS eat up my processor capacity with nothing but basic OS processes running. I didn't even have antivirus or any of the extra Compaq crap running.
I'm working in an office where they won't even think of deploying machines with Vista, even with a clean install, because the hardware required to get similar performance as we're getting with XP and 2000 is such a step up. And the machines we're buying are no slouches.
