Earlier today I transfered c 150 files, 1.5gb from Vista to a usb2

Why is Vista so incredibly slow at file transfers?

using 2gb mem and 2 ghz on vista business laptop
and 1 gb mem 1 ghz on xp
I just copied 1.88gbs folder 133 files in the folder from the HD on my
laptop to a USB HD, and it took all of about 1.5 minutes, maybe less with
Vista Ultimate.

Then I took the same folder and copied it to my USB 4gb stick, and it took
about the same amount of time to copy when I copied the folder to my USB
HD.

2gb ram and 1.73 ghz




I would have to disagree. The base code for the O/S should be the same
for all versions of the Vista NT based O/S. It was that way for NT 4.0,
and Win 2k workstation and server O/S(s). It was the same for XP Home
and Pro. That is the based code was the same.

I don't know what the guy's problem is about. But I think if I had Vista
Business on this notebook, I wouldn't have any problems with file copy.
Maybe, the guy has not applied any updates or the SP to Vista. Who
knows, as he really has not given any details.

I said in my original post, I'm using vista business sp1, with 2gb
memory and 2 ghz processor

What I didn't originally say but now add, the recipient xp m/c had a
3.6ghz processor with 1 gb of memory

The files being transferred were in 10 seperate directories
