I run Vista on my 2 year old work laptop. Of course, it's no slouch - it's a 2.16GHz C2D, 2GB RAM, with a 5400rpm drive and a Quadro 135M (approx equiv
to a Gefore 7400 Go). It runs fine.
Office runs fine. Java works a bit better than XP since I can actually shut it down properly when crappy code mem leaks. My virtual machines that I use for
testing run much faster - both VMware and VirtPC.
Heck, I can even play CoH on it - given at a lower level than I could when it ran XP, but a large portion of that is because I refuse to disable Aero when
playing.
It'll be nice to see how it runs on my new machine I'm getting in May/June. 2-year Evergreen plan FTW.
