Hi All,
I've seen this before and the usual suggestions of turning off icon
preview, remote differential compression and tcp autotuning don't seem
to help.
The first vista machines I put in for customers had terrible, terrible
performance copying data over the network - the "green ribbon of
death". What took 30 seconds in XP would take hours in Vista. I've
just got the missus a new Dell with Vista Home Premium, with all
current updates, and it's just the same.

I'm not alone in this but I've not seen a definitive guide to why it's
so slow and how to fix it. If I copy from an XP machine and push it
to a share on the Vista box, it's fine. If I logon to the Vista box
and copy from an XP machine or my NAS, it's unusable.

There must be a fix - anyone?

I find myself using OSX more and more....

I have decided on three pet hates:
i) Vista
ii) Lexmark printers
iii) Aol Broadband.

I am thinking of devising a surcharge mechanism for each of the three....
