You probably have more practical interests. My rating is 2.9, but I feel like that's not enough. I'm not playing games right now, but the computer is running slowly even in normal operations, while it worked fine under XP. And since we're talking about copying, here's what I'll say: calculate how much time it takes to get permission, and then to actually copy the files. Let's move on. Was there a feature in XP where some files could only work in SPECIFIC folders, and not in others, so you had to move them to make them work? Did the computer open links from a client using Internet Explorer after you had disabled it and set Opera as the default browser? Next. Is it convenient to get a screen filled with unnecessary stuff when you open Task Manager? For those who can perform multiple actions in parallel (chatting, installing a couple of programs, and working with other programs at the same time), is it convenient to lose the ability to do anything when asked if they want to continue? Compatibility mode is terrible. A program that loaded in 5 seconds under XP takes 5 minutes (or more) to load under Vista. They also decided to make the icons bigger (I'm talking about regular icons). Why? Now you have to constantly move the scrollbar. Fewer icons fit on the desktop than before. The only plus is the optimization of processes, which doesn't even work everywhere.
