The faster Intel makes the computers, the slower Microsoft makes them. I remember years ago unzipping 1000 small files in less than one minute. Now, unzipping those same files on a faster computer takes several minutes. Why? Simple. As Intel makes the computer faster, Microsoft writes more robust code to make it look cool, but perform ever more slowly. The graphics in Vista are grinding my computer to a halt.
