Downgrade to Windows XP (from slow and blotted Vista)
Since the day I got my Vaio Z, I was feeling like vista is not allowing me to use the machine to its full potential. The trial of Office 2007 was also just too slow. Both the software look significantly blotted with unnecessarily stuff that most people do not use.
Ultimately I decided to use the downgrade option and downgraded the OS to Windows XP. The same machine now seems to run twice as responsive n fast!
I knew I will be getting performance improvements but did not thought, it will of this scale.
I recommend everyone who has an option to downgrade to use it and see if you feel like you have came out of jail.
My next move would be to totally move/migrate to Fedora or Ubuntu and stop using XP, except for testing on this platform.

Re: Downgrade to Windows XP (from slow and blotted Vista)
It is really a good idea to downgrade from Windows Vista to Win-XP. It seems that Microsoft has this tendency to work like this. Windows-95 was a success and Windows-98 a failure, they relaunched Windows-98 to gain some market. Lot of windows versions Windows-ME, Windows-2000 in between quickly gone out of the market then came Windows XP which is recognized as a good work. Again Windows Vista, a disaster. Now it seems Windows 7 is becoming popular and gaining some name of Microsoft.
