    Well I've had to use the laptop a few times now since putting Vista SP2 on. It's no faster starting up or shutting down, still takes for ever Windows things seem to launch a little quicker, but overall I'd say what ever its resolved isn't that noticeable to the user. Certainly doesn't make me want to move off the Mac OSX

    SP2 wont make your pc any faster all it will do is update sofate and add any security patches. Best thing you can do to speed up your pc is uninstall software you dont use and run a registry cleaner like CCleaner, (its free).
    Also check your startup programs using msconfig, keep them to a minimum.

    Done all that and rechecked it a few times. Doesn't seem to matter with Vista... its just slow!

    Before the upgrade it was 4.5
    After the upgrade it is 4.4 - I'd checked this and for some reason it told me I had to re run the index as "new hardware has been added" after the SP2 update. I haven't added anything so don't know what it wanted but re-ran the index anyway.

    Personally I think its telling me "buy a MacBook"

    Just loaded win7 RC. Seems nice. networking is easy on it, but have to make sure software u have been running previously has updated versions for Vista at least.
