I updated the comps at work with the Vista SP1 - dear sweet Lord... it actually runs slower now. They now take even longer to see network shares.

I'm really tempted to recommend they buy copies of XP. I'm spending half my time troubleshooting rather than any constructive work.

Still, on the plus side, at least I didn't get Vista for my own computer.

::edit::
Why the **** would anyone buy a new, more powerful computer and/or OS in order to have it run slower than their old one??? I've heard a lot of it is down to the DRM checks that Vista does. Vista doesn't seem aimed at making user's lives better, it's aimed at keeping the music and movie industries happy. There appears to be **** all benefit to ME.
