Re: [SLUG] Vista preview on Seven Sunrise
Does Vista suffer from the time from installation - speed problem. That is does Vista run slower the longer you have it installed on your machine?

I believe this problem relates to the number of COM components which are added to the registry. A lot of crapware is Active-X (ie COM) based and therefore contributes to this problem, although the problem can develop through installation of legitimite software - MS Office, and a lot of Adobe products register a lot of COM components. One big design issue with COM is that they made the components themselves responsible for registering and unregistering themselves. In practice, even legitimate components, once registered, tend to not ever be unregistered, making registry bloat an inevitable process given enough time.
