I upgraded (via fresh install) from XP Pro to Vista Business edition. All
updates were applied - I'm also running Live OneCare which is up-to-date.

I noticed when trying to access Apples site to look at iPods and their
computers, the access is REDICULOUSLY slow. I go to the site and wait to
click one of the areas of interest (iPods, Macs, etc) and I seem to wait
FOREVER.

So, since I have both Firefox and Safari installed, I try both of those
browsers and response is very fast.

Is this just a coincidence? I know Apple is a competitor, and it seems a
purposeful slowdown is unlikely - but, why is only IE7 (on Vista) access to
Apple's website so PAINFULLY SLOW ????

I wouldn't be suspicous if at least one other website showed this poor
performance...
