AstaLaVista,
Please don't worry about Antman and my going back and forth. We have a mutual respect for one another. Antman was making a bit of a joke from his reply more or less saying that his machine has remained responsive after getting everything installed and running that he needed. And that is true for me as well...it's just that it did slow down over the course of getting everything installed.
Even though the reviews are subjective, the reason that I commented the way that I did was that everybody feel that Windows 7 is super fast. But compared to Vista on the same hardware, I think many would find it to be generally on par with Vista. A tad slower in some cases and a tad faster than others. The beauty is that Windows 7 is the newer system, has more features, runs better on older hardware and certainly is not a slower system overall. So many people compare Windows 7 to the initial release of Vista....and that really isn't much of a comparison. 7 isn't much of a radical change from Vista...so since the mfg's and such have had time to get good driver support and such...the initial rollout of 7 shouldn't be much of an issue....and likely a pleasant surprise for those expecting it to be a debacle.
