I've been saddled with Windows Vista Home via a laptop bought for one of my sons, tonight I came very close to wiping it and putting XP on it.
The biggest problem is that cut and paste take aaaaaages, specifically the cut, this is in the bundled Microsoft Works. I'm not sure if it is actually Works that is the problem and not Vista and I'm considering putting Open Office on as a replacement.
It just seems that normally Vista is okay, but some operations take forever, on our one the Switch User takes 2/3 minutes to get back to the login screen, and then we have the notorious network copy 9600 baud modem emulation.
has anyone heard of this cut/paste problem ? Any solutions ?
