so far with vista I like the tabs. It isn't as crisp as xp. I don't like the way micrsoft has seemingly taken some control from me the user. I may go back until they fix some stuff......

How funny Unsolved, I was just wondering around the net searching on "why is vista sucking up all my ram", LOL. I guess Vista has something called a "superfetch" that is sposed to utilize the ram better...but it takes several seconds to open any windows on this thing. I'm still researching.
I got a new satellite too, LOVE IT!!! Just wish I'd had a choice to have XP on it. Oh well, I have to find out how to disable superfetch.
Have fun with it!

"There is a way to disable superfetch in vista by setting the following registry key to a value of "0":
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters\EnableSuperfetch
A value of 1 prefetches boot processes, 2 prefetches applications and 3 is for both.
They should have given the option to turn this setting off in the computer management mmc but that works. "
Jeff has been trying to fix this resource hog and this is what he has found so far.
