Re: Asta La Vista
Yes - as "Version 1.0" says above, Vista was always OK on a top-of-the-line machine ("easily satisfied with the best"), but was awful on affordable hardware.
With the passage of time said top-of-the-line machines have become available 2nd hand at very keen prices because they are contaminated by the Vista license.
My main development machine is a Thinkpad W500 with SSD, running Vista - and it does OK. Doesn't feel quite as fast as my home machine, which is an older Thinkpad T61 (also SSD) which went through the upgrade cycle XP -> 8.0 -> Linukx Mint.
The lovely 1680x1024 and 1920x1200 IPS displays and super keyboards on these old machines are fair compensation for the strange looks I get for being a Vista user...
