James Senior: It's always nice to have a few throwaway stats about Windows Vista that you can give to someone when you are combating someone who believes that XP is "good enough" for them. I'd like to share a few with you over the coming weeks and I'll start with a new page on www.windowsvista.com that has some interesting stats on Vista that you might not know about.
Windows Vista-based PCs resume from sleep in less than 6 seconds.
PCs running Windows Vista that are equipped with 512 MB memory experience a performance boost of up to 40% with ReadyBoost technology
Windows Vista users generally experience 20 percent fewer application "hangs" than those running Windows XP
Superfetch, an ingenious new Windows Vista technology, helps your computer adjust to your schedule, so your apps are ready to go before you even launch them. Use Microsoft Outlook every morning? Superfetch will serve it up just in time for breakfast. Play the same game every night? Superfetch gets your computer ready for the next big win. Waiting less means you can do more. Only on Windows Vista.
Based on their first 180 days of availability, Windows Vista has been shown to have fewer vulnerabilities than Windows XP or MacOS X 10.4
PCs running it are 60 percent less likely to be infected with viruses, worms, and rootkits than PCs running Windows XP SP2
Windows Vista-based PCs are almost three times less likely to be infected with potentially unwanted software than Windows XP-based PCs.
Internet Explorer 7 is now blocking nearly 1 million attempts to access these fake sites per week

Fact - Vista is pathetically SLOW
I will never roll out any VIsta machines until it is AT LEAST as fast as XP for file transfers, copies, and network throughput. I also work for a gaming company along with financial, university, venture capital etc. I will probably only role out A vista machine if they are working on a game using DX10 - otherwise everything will remain XP as frames per second in Vista is horrible.
I have no idea what the developers of Vista were thinking but slow downs are not acceptable - you can run a virtual copy of XP in Vista if you need fast file copies and transfers and network speed and fast video performance - umm on second thought, why not just stick with XP - save the money on the hardware and the OS?
