Windows Vista Build 5472

The latest build of Vista, 5472, is reportedly faster than previous builds. I've been in the Vista beta program for some time now and I have a spare machine that I rebuild to test out the latest features and functionality of Vista. One of my biggest complaints had been the speed of nearly everything. Now that this latest build is said to be faster, I think it's time for a rebuild.

I'm also going to rebuild my wife's laptop with this build. She's been complaining about the speed/responsiveness of the laptop (running Windows XP Professional) for some time now. I think it's just a matter of rebuilding that machine and since Vista is a good option, I'm inclined to have her test it out.

Personally, I really want to know what she thinks of all those dialog boxes asking her to confirm her actions. I could have swore the other day one asked me if I was sure I wanted to get up and use the bathroom. Okay, so it's not that bad, but it's not good either. And it's not going to be good for people who don't speak geek.

Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes.
