 Vista, both with and without SP1, performed notably slower than XP with SP3 in the test, taking over 80 seconds to complete the test, compared to the beta SP3-enhanced XP’s 35 seconds.

Vista’s performance with the service pack increased less than 2 percent compared to performance without SP1–much lower than XP’s SP3 improvement of 10 percent. The tests, run on a Dell XPS M1710 test bed with a 2GHz Core 2 Duo CPU and 1GB of RAM, put Microsoft Office 2007 through a set of productivity tasks, including creating a compound document and supporting workbooks and presentation materials.

A spokesperson for Microsoft claimed that the service packs for Vista still needed some work.

It has always been our goal to deliver service packs that meet the full spectrum of customer needs

I upgraded to Vista about a year ago, and I was thoroughly unimpressed with the performance decrease (remember me). However upgrades since seem to have slowly improved performace and stability although I am still not totally convinced!

Yeah I know the source is from a while ago, but I needed a rant…
