Hearing that XP with the third service pack performs faster than Vista with it’s first service pack isn’t encouraging.

Apparently, XP still opens Word 10% faster according to the latest benchmarks. Microsoft must still be optimizing the Vista system…

I like Vista thus far overall. It runs smoothly and fairly fast on my desktop, an AMD 64-bit, dual core built with Vista 64-bit in mind, but I have two mine gripes recently that have made me regret the upgrade. Unfortunately, they might be more the fault of third-party drivers.

First, Vista doesn’t recognize my processor correctly. It thinks I have a single core for some reason, and AMD has release no additional driver to correct this issue. Apparently “Vista includes their latest driver.” Apparently not.

Second, my Logitech MX 5000 Bluetooth desktop still works just as specified, but my desktop doesn’t recognize that there is a Bluetooth hub on my computer for me to connect to other devices. A slight annoyance with syncing. Logitech has not had an updated driver since I installed Vista either.

I searched around looking for solutions, but it seems like I will be stuck with these problems until Vista SP1 is released–sometime in January? Pretty please?

A new trailer for Cloverfield was posted up on Ain’t It Cool revealing a partial view of the creature that haunts J.J. Abrams dreams.

I hear it’s not the black cloud monster from Lost.
