,For those of you who have a laptop & the very hungry resource hogger, Vista installed, Microsoft have officially released a 14 page Pdf tweaker guide to make Vista more efficient. A lot of the tweaks we will already know about, but this is a turn up for the books with M$ recognition!
Windows Vista and SP1 focus on delivering greater performance and overall system responsiveness. By striking a balance between speed and responsiveness, Windows Vista and SP1 deliver a level of performance that has the greatest positive impact on the system’s usability. This guide looks at the following areas of performance improvement:
Making configuration changes that help a computer feel more responsive when you use it.
Using hardware to boost the actual physical speed of a computer.
Making configuration changes that help a computer to start faster.
Making the computer more reliable may help increase performance.
Monitoring performance occasionally so that you can stop problems before they get too big
Of particular benefit to laptop users is the advice on customising the Vista power plan and exploiting its hybrid sleep mode to speed up start-up times, but Microsoft isn’t afraid to get technical and the guide even goes so far as to recommend which Windows Services to disable. Alas, it stops short at recommending the reinstallation of Windows XP.
Anyway here is the link ENJOY!
