Microsoft hopes to tackle an age-old problem with the next version of Windows: How to keep PCs running like new.

With Vista, the new client version of Windows due next year, Microsoft is addressing what's become a sad truth for most people: PCs run more slowly over time.

Vista will automatically de-fragment hard disks, make better use of memory to more quickly load programs, and include a new performance control panel that will identify performance bottlenecks, according to the company.

The goal is to keep PCs running like new long after they're purchased. "Certainly a year after a user gets a Vista system, if they do the sort of standard things we encourage users to do (install Windows updates, etc.), it should run the same as when they initially go it, said Gabriel Aul, a group program manager in Microsoft's Windows division.

Or... they could just reformat their computers (ie delete those overloaded porn) and they'll be as fast as new

...

Seriously, reformatting a computer helps increase its speed...

I hate Microsoft. That's just another few things the OS will be doing without user consent

Maybe they'll let you turn it off, but it will buried deep someplace where normal users won't know to go.

Also, I've heard rumors that Vista won't allow Firefox installations and their built-in antivirus program treats Firefox as spyware O.o

I beleave it is against the law for microsoft to stop users installign rival products on thier systems. Big debate about this not so long ago over something similar. So i guess this wont be a problem in the final release.
