The Windows Vista Experience, part sloooow

[cdybedahl]

About ten minutes ago, I started unpacking a 127MB zip file. By right-clicking and selecting "Exract all...". At the moment, Windows claims it's got another 15 hours to go before it's done unpacking. This seems a tad on the long side.

mayhaps you should get a non-native windows friendly extractor to see if it makes a big diff . i'm curious whether programs not packaged with vista (but still windows friendly) still work as well within the vista environment. have you played with other programs to see whether the OS makes everything (even good programs) run like garbage?

I hate Vista and we have at work no Vista because it it not compatible with all programs yet. I will soon buy a new hard drive but will install XP on it again.
