Hot diggety dog!
Authored by: terceiro on Feb 28, '04 05:49:46PM

Just for fun, I installed WinXP (which was previously unusable) and tried tweaking it by turning off themes and setting the performance as listed this comment. I'll be jiggered if it didn't make a *huge* difference. XP was too slow for even test porposes before, but now (classic UI, performance set for "better performance") it's now quite usable. I'm not going to switch to it full time, but for my once-a-month stuff, this is great.

Of course, I don't have anything installed yet. I'll have to toss QuickBooks (for work) and Office (just in case) and my Topo software (the *real* reason I have it at all) and see how they work. Still, I'm impressed.
