Only 30 or 40!?! You should be booted out of Geekdom for even admitting that! I don’t even know how many apps/utilities I have… but it has got to be more than 125!

Well, I only install the programs that I use a lot. It turns out that there are not that many I find useful enough to always install. Can I please come back to Geekdom?

Amazing article today. Could XP with -let's say- 1Go ram really be half that able to do?

Wow! You must install everything we write about.

Yeah, maybe you should stop writing about so many good software applications I actually use all of the programs I have installed. I regularly do some cleaning and uninstall programs I really don’t use. Same goes for my 45 extensions, but that’s another story

Do you have any information on Windows XP? I’m curious to see how it compares with Windows Vista.

Nope, it doesn’t look like anyone has given this a whirl with XP yet. Give it a week… I’m sure it will come.

I do agree that it’s pretty solid, but XP’s performance is pretty good itself. I’m sure it would come out about the same as Vista did.
