Windows Vista Performance

I've been talking to a few people recently who are using Windows Server 2008 as a workstation.  Some of their comments are along the lines of:  "Server 2008 has the same code base as Vista SP1, how come it feels quicker?".

Interestingly there doesn't seem to be a good answer (yet).  I've been shown a single laptop running Vista (and it's slow and unstable), then the exact same laptop running Server 2008 and it is quick.

I then show them my laptop in the same scenarios (I have dual boot) and Vista is quicker than Server - it doesn't make sense!

I've taken this interesting "issue" to heart, and have set about finding out why (I love a challenge).

My first port of call will be the Springboard Series Virtual Roundtable that's on this afternoon (17:00 in Ireland - 9:00am Pacific Standard Time) Wednesday, September 24, 2008.  It will be recorded, so it won't matter too much if you miss it (although you won't be able to ask live questions).  Mark Russinovich and a panel of industry experts will explore your top of mind performance issues, common misconfigurations, and tips on how to fix them. From boot times and applets to disk performance and battery life, find out how to optimize Windows Vista and what you can do to improve overall system performance.

I'm already in contact with a bunch of people in Corp plus a few local "experts".  I'll let you know how I get on - so watch this space (I'll be sharing my 'tips & tricks' later)..

    Windows Vista with SP1 (and some tweaks) is faster than Windows Server 2008. Since my last post on this

    Graham, In that case it could be something as simple as one of your 1TB drives failing (on its way out) - constantly trying to fix bad blocks. If you can work out which one it is (power on with one of them unplugged), run a CHKDSK /R against it (it will find the bad sectors).  You could then try and re-format it (copy all your data from it to the other one first).  Most drives have a 12 month warranty on them - you might be able to get it replaced?

    I have noticed that similar to all MS OS it just starts to slow down over time. It’s been a year since I rebuilt and it’s starting to become more noticeable. I have a powerful machine, with 4GB Ram, 2 Dual Core Procs, Sata hdd. I'm running 64Bit, I’ve got  5.4 Vista Rating. I have one question, why are my hard drives always churning away, I have turned off indexing, no programs running, I've disabled firewalls, av, email, im etc. But it will still be churning away. Any ideas? g
