I keep reading over the internet that people are seeing the OS is overall much faster than Vista is with SP1. mostly hype m8 i was running server 2008, but switched back to v64 and i'm not seeing much of a difference, if any tbh For me aplications starts way faster, better tranfer files, My games rocks, good ping in games, no stutters and i have same amount of memory becouse I have two partitions, I see differences maybe not in performance becouse will have to do some bench on both but I see it in responsiveness....., in business SP1 I get stutters and my hardisks trash a lot, ping is really bad, as for using it only as server is not worth it the effort, but for workstation enabling all the workstation has, its worth every penny...
