sideeffect

every operating system made by microsoft, will be without the bloat in the server edition. Namely, Windows Server 2008 (presently named Codename Longhorn Server). I never used XP, I switched directly from 2000 to Server 2003. Some of you may know why I plan to do the same with Vista and use Server 2008 instead, as soon as I can get some of Vista components to work on it. Yes i agree. I think windows XP x64 is the best ever Microsoft operating system. Its so fast and lean and so much faster than vista.

Yes but whats the point of having a operating system use up all your resources when those resources could be better used running applications and games. From what I've seen so far vista x 64 cant do anything more than I was already doing on XP x64. However it takes twice the amount of resources. I'm sure vista will get better but in my opinion improved software should be more efficient for your hardware not less.

Vista x64 is a lot bigger my ISO with almost everything removed based on ultimate x64 is 1.19GB
