New Tests Reveal Even XP Trounces VISTA
New tests have revealed that Windows XP with the beta Service Pack 3 has twice the performance of Vista, even with its long-awaited Service Pack 1.

twice in what though? I saw this yesterday. I'm trying out RC1 (PM me if you're interested in how) and it seemed to make firefox sluggish on one of my systems. It also was a little funky with video overlay (it zooms in on the middle 75% of the video and cuts off the borders unless you turn off overlay).
There is a speed difference obviously but you have to wonder how much of that is more of the RAM issues... a lot of the tests are done with systems with 1GB of ram and Vista doesn't start keeping pace until 2GB. That and we were talking about Office tests.Wikipedia and Google.... the needles to my tangent habit.
