Testing the real thing

Hello again,

when I got my notebook, I had no opportunity to select the operating system.
Vista was preinstalled, XP was not supplied.
I found that Vista was definitely not ready for a business notebook and even today is not.
The Filesystem is garbage and produces even more.
Vista doesn't keep system files consolidated. There are a lot of services producing such scattered junk:

First of all the index service - invented to keep disks busy,
and second Offline files - syncing starts allways in the wrong moment.
and at last the shadow copies - zombie service for those who do not use real backups


The best joke I just read , is the statement of a german computer magazin Computer Bild, that Vista compared to XP needs no defragmentation.

I suppose that effective defragmentation of a mounted Vista system partion is not possible.

After starting Vista, and installing some Applications, perhaps Outlook, another producer of a highly fragmentented file (outlook.ost), there is no chance to reduce the size of system partion in a reasonable measure using only built-in capabilities.

Now I succeded in repartioning my notebook and I just installed Windows 7 (en-US) on a second partion. So I need no longer play in a virtual machine, but can test the real thing with aereo and the mediaplayer showing its capabilities.


Wow fascinating to see all the resources at hand, that Vista wasted.

The only thing, I miss at first glance is the fingerprint sensor, I must remeber my password.

Yours

Beta Bernd
