From my experience, Vista does take longer to open up MS Office files than the XP, but it's not 5 minutes. What version of office are you using?

I am running Office 2007 Standard and it is blazingly fast, the fastest version I have ever used.
When I open Outlook, it is instant, no hd thrashing like previous versions, and Word and Excel are equally as fast...I love it.

Did you do a clean install and thus remove all of Dells bloatware ?

I'm running Office XP and it loads instantly, I'm not sure what's going on with your computer. So you formated the drive and reinstalled windows (not just uses a restore disc)?

What speed is ur hard drive and what ram you have?

If you have a 4200 rpm hard drive like my BRAND NEW top of the line toshiba G40, then it will be like snail in vista.

I took fxxking 1 hour and 20 minutes to boot up for the first time when it get the image from a partition. INSANE.
After boot up, it takes another 4 hours to configure and download and install stuff by itself. During the process, it takes 3 minutes to open windows explorer. Lost so much hair while frustrating with a brand new top of the line laptop.

I miss my m1710, and windows xp.
