>From the limited exposure I've had to Vista (Home Basic) "client use". A "Clean" install on the same hardware (P4 2GHz, 512MB Ram, 80G drive, nVidia graphics) it run's at about half the speed of XP(Home) in just about all respects. Whatever tweaks you do to it. Where'd the "Wow" go? Less than impressed (we re-installed XP as a result, did all the updates, and the same machine really rocks again!) Of course, the reseller will not take it back as the box is opened, will hang on to it till we can get something bigger better and much faster to load it on.

Re: [twsocket] Strange Vista winsock behavior--any way to by-pass?
That's way Vista is sold as a client OS and Microsoft sells separate server software. Also, read your XP and Vista licenses, they are not to be used as servers. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fastream Technologies Sent: Friday, May 04, 2007 2:53 AM To: ICS support mailing Subject: Re: [twsocket] Strange Vista winsock behavior--any way to by-pass? Yes that's what I guessed as well but if it's inherent to Vista then Vista is not much suitable as server OS. I wonder if the issue is in client side or server sockets? Unfortunately I sold my other desktop and my laptop in in service so I cannot check against XP/2003.
