Lately I notice that common tasks such as opening folders or moving files from folder to folder is kind of slow under Vista. Sometimes it even times out just getting content of a folder on a network share. Anyone else have these issues since Vista?

I don't know if it's anything to do with the Vista code itself, but if you have disk operations, the system can't access swap memory as fast since the disk is busy, and therefore, everything would be slower.

I heard what slows down disk operations is when it has to do the calculation to display how long it will take to move a file. I wish there was a way to disable this since it takes more to calculate time remaining then to actually do the copy/move. I swear all the new vista gizmos of system performance are counter productive. Like the useless message "your program has failed, please wait while windows tries to fix/recover" only to come back saying "Windows could not fix or recover, check support or click help, blah, blah"

I believe Microsoft just released a fix for this Vista Bug.

Yeah this hot fix requires you to contact MS just to get it. I can just picture the grewling minutes and hours spent on the phone and talking to some dumb ass support tech just to figure out why Im calling. After all that time spent I might get a file that might not even fully fix the problems. This seems like a bad option. Why can't they just post the damn file somewhere for download?!?!?
Have you noticed slow performace when browsing/coping from HD disks in Vista
