Hello everybody,
It's been a while since I posted here, mainly because my hardisk crashed on me on the 31st of December 
it could not make it till the coming year. After the crash and a new hardisk, I decided to upgrade to Windows XP, I had vista before 
and Life is Great again :) I had some trouble finding the drivers, but eventually I found everything I need... Some simple differences to note, VS2008 took around one hour to install on XP. SP1 of VS2008 took less than 30 minutes to install, I remember I had to wait hours to finish installing SP1 when I had Vista... Makes you wonder what is it doing?! Mind you that when I had Vista, all the graphics effects were stripped down to gain maximum performance, most unnecessary services were stopped but still it was extremely slow compared to XP. Hopefully Windows 7 will be much better. Within the near future I will be giving a presentation at Microsoft offices in Lebanon on speeding up your WebApplications. I will keep you posted.
