Principled Technologies, a North Carolina-based company that conducts technology assessments, recently piloted a study for Microsoft where the performance of Windows XP Service Pack 2 was compared to Windows Vista when performing common business operations.

| I've seen identical (average) timings between XP and Vista, even on machines with only an Athlon 1000 as long as the video card is at least an inexpensive 128-MB AGP FX5200. Both XP and Vista with Aero run smoother and more resposively with a heftier video card, like 256-MB DDR2 PCIe-16x GeForce 6200. Since RC1 Vista has run quite well. |
