i heard the file stuff was an issue with the initial vista, but it was cleared up by SP1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Windows_Vista#File_operation_performance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Windows_Vista#File... that link also mentions that file operations on Vista may seem to take longer because the file transfer dialog stays up during the whole operation, whereas in XP it can be closed before the operation has actually completed
