Windows Vista to keep PCs running like new
It's a fact that after six months of ordinary use, Windows will be much slower than you remember it being when you first installed it. An occasional reinstall (or complete reformat) is standard operating procedure. According to CNET, Microsoft is claiming that Windows Vista (nee Longhorn) will eliminate this problem. Vista, the article says, "will automatically de-fragment hard disks, make better use of
memory to more quickly load programs, and include a new performance
control panel that will identify performance bottlenecks." The Microsoft rep claims, "Certainly a year after a user gets a Vista system, if they do the sort of standard things we encourage users to do (install Windows updates, etc.), it should run the same as when they initially got it." If it sounds too good to be true... well, you know the rest.

I'm not doubting their claims. Every release has been a major improvement over the last. I've got one desktop system running the same XP install for about two years...compare that to 95 and that machine would have been dead long ago.
