I had xp and win 2000 before and now that I got a dual core system
with 1gb ram, with Vista home premium, it kind of slow compared to xp/
2000. When I click on vista start menu, and click programs, it
takes about 4 second for any program folder to open up. Is this
normal? thanks.

vista version 1 is just a bad OS, SP1 will change things a bit, hope

Wait 'til you start trying to do something besides start a program.

IMO buying a 'modest' computer with Vista pre-installed is a big
mistake, unless you got a good deal on it and you are planning on
installing some other OS which will perform much better with the modest
resources, such as XP or a linux distro.

Yes, Vista [RC2 and Ultimate] was laggy for me too. 1GB RAM is
not very much for Vista flavors in general. You *might* want
to RAM-up with some Non-ECC RAM, *but* I suspect that Vista is
either going to go the way of Windows Me or get replaced very
soon. It's a *bad* dog - IMHO. And for the world of me, I
don't really see what it's bringing to the table which is
superior to WinXPpro. Anything WinXP "lacks" compared to Vista
can easily be obtained via added software, etc., and the bonus
is that XP does not need the expensive hardware upgrades to
function at a minimum level. So, cross your fingers and hope
Vista's SP1 brings about some significant improvements - but
word-up is *don't* hold your breath. It's less expensive for
Microsoft (or the US government, or any beast for that matter)
to "spin" a bad decision than it is to acknowledge the mistake
and make it right, apparently. Remember, Bill Gates is *NOT*
the antichrist -- the antichrist merely works for him. Middle
management, I think...

Always wait for any MS OS to get to version 2 before using/installing.
That has been the same advice since dos 6.2.
