Story: 10 ways to increase Vista's performance

Vista is a RAM-hungry operating system

The best alternative to VISTA is to replace it with PCLinuxOS. It is faster, does many more graphical tricks than AERO, easier to use, is compatible with more hardware, is backwards compatible with M$ documents and presentations, and is cheaper. I was a tester for VISTA RC-1 and RC-2 and that was enough to convince me that my windoze machine was not going to be upgraded. I have 2 Linux boxes and the one running PCLinuxOS is preferred by all of my family members, even over XP.
