Microsoft certainly makes it hard for themselves!!!
Most of the time Microsoft has had to deal with security flaws or patches, but this classifies as a big ass bug!!! In this episode, Microsoft's Vista is front and center of a drop in transfer speeds. Apparently whenever a Vista user listens to music and downloads anything, there's a drop in transfer speeds, with some users seeing their network cards use only 5% of a gigabit network device. The same users report 50% usage while using Windows XP under the same conditions.
Of course Microsoft is working on a fix, but for right now Vista users might what to turn off their music while downloading.
