    A taxi driver told me it is faster than before....
    Though until now I expected Mickeysoft to slow down XP in order to sell vista...My computer is slow... I must upgrade to vista!

    its just a bunc of security updates and fixes no real thing in it.

    Your taxi driver is working on the wrong place lol.
    Yeah Microsoft has optimized XP by making it roughly 10% faster.
    Many people are delighted about this. There has been many articles on the web.
    I do not know how they achieved this, but this is definitely a new feature.

    This should be moved to AfterHours just to show THEM that Taxi drivers DO know everything!

    I'm using the RC for the past 2-3 weeks. Didn't notice any changes TBH... In fact, my PC has been acting strange since installing this RC so I'm going to format and wait for the final version to be released... I loves formatting I do! :rolleyes:

    I have been told (not actually checked myself) to benefit from the optimization you need to do a fresh install of XP with SP3. Apparantly it's something to do with how your drivers are loaded and needs to be installed first.
