You are wrong. Vista search is not MUCH SLOWER!!! It is VERY VERY MUCH
SLOWER!! And when eventually the results (email) do show up, I get them
twice!!!! This happens when you move an incoming message to a folder. The
“vista search” finds the email in the inbox (which does not exist there
anymore, because you have moved it) plus in the folder you moved it to. To
avoid this you need to rebuild the index every day before you go to bed!!!!!

This was a problem that I encountered in January that I bought the vista. I
went back to XP and I thought that 10 months later this problem would have
been resolved. I was wrong!!! This means I will reinstall XP again.

The WDS for XP it is 1000000 times better and I would very much like to ask
those who developed the instant (ha ha ha) search in vista what did they
really have in mind????
Not only was WDS for XP way faster but you could easily isolate different
results (contacts - Appointments - notes - etc) with just one click!!!!!

Can someone with access to Microsoft’s developers ask this for me? And also
ask them to make the wds for xp also possible to be installed in vista???

Here in Greece we say: “vista is svista” and svista means “uninstall
it”!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately you figure this out after the money you spend to buy it!!!
(along with the money you spend to upgrade your hardware and software because
mostly nothing works with it)
