J_O - this is exactly the opposite of my experience running the RC1 version of XP. The tests the article refers to were run a long time ago (June 10th), under Beta 2... The author says it has "an increased appetite for CPU cycles" - yet I saw better performance than any previous MSFT OS on every machine I tried, from a 90 MHz pentium to a dual 1GHz PIII machine, even on Beta 2, and much stronger performance under RC1. Maybe the authors should try the released version and see what they think.

<< already has development teams working on the two subsequent Windows releases, code-named Longhorn and Blackcomb. >> Already? They've been working on these products for years. How can anyone be surprised that they are working on their next products? Auto manufacturers come out with improved versions of their cars and trucks every year. If you want the new improved version, you buy it. If you don't, you keep your old car. Why is this controversial?
