My Vista/Delphi/Dev experience
My Vista install shows a Windows Experience Index of 5.9, I have 3 gigs of memory installed and I'm running it all on a Intel Core Duo Quad-Core processor. I'm all about speed and efficiency and as we all know antivirus and firewalls apps tend to hog system resources and slow down performance.

Unless you are starting with a problem-ridden Windows installation, it's almost always worth at least trying the upgrade.

My Vista is very slow
I do not tell that it does not work, well except for parts with soundcard and installation thing when it would hang without any report (that makes for great first time user experience).

... it's only the Home versions that can't be run in a VM. This is ridiculous. what if i need to test my software with a clean home install? The restrictions only apply to retail and OEM versions.

OT : Vista Bash
My notebook is Vista Ultimate Intel 2, T7400 2.16 Ghz, 32bit, 2046 MB mem, NTFS HD. I'ma bit of a novice at hardware but I think I'm just swapping a 2.1 Ghz CPU for an old 1.4 Ghz CPU and old programs that work. Will this wacko duel boot idea work? Any special precautions? Any other's experience like this?
