Did it ever occur to you why M$ created readyboost
.
...and no it was not because it is cool
This is a classic of "the emperor has no clothes fable".
I work with (a pain) 2 Vista Machines in my business personally and have used a few others with the high end versions.

i am all for progress when it works, but theoretical progress i leave that for the dreamers and the beta testers.
When I upgrade I want and deserve a system that performs better than my previous system with equal or slightly more resources required for such an outcome that can be seen and experienced.
...and don't sell me something that will barely run unless I spend a third more to get it there. Let me know it take 1500 upfront instead of telling me it will run at $700.
That is disceptive. Tell me it will cost me $1500 and then it's up to me to decide.
Microsoft may have had fewer sales but might have had a great deal more happy customer with vista. In the long run everyone then wins.
As it stand they now have to deliver yet another product- downgrade cds.
When will they learn?
Yes, with Vista it takes nearly double resources to achieve the performance that I have enjoyed with my previous Os and you call that progress.
Yes Vista has got to go back to the drawing board for at least another 2 years. Meanwhile give me back my XP without penalty or charge.
