WIndows 7 slowing down?
I mean, sure, my boot time is crazy, but my overall performance has actually increased with driver updates. I can ignore the 10 minute boot time (no exaggeration, I press power button and go have my morning BM and still get back before its at the login screen) because the system is so fast once its ready to be.
The comparison is easy, another dev here has a 4 year old computer, when he clicks play in VS2010 it takes visibly a long time for everything to redraw and compile, when I click play on my machine, its near instant.
