The difference in H/D speed is mainly due to the older machine being raid1 and the newer being raid0.
But windows 7 quite frankly, sucks in a number of areas..
you can't copy user settings from 1 user to another.
mapping drives in explorer does not give you access to those mapped drives in a cmd.exe box running as an adminstrator.
and, while it isn't a m$ problem, moving wise installer was a real problem. we ended up using laplink pc mover, but that moved a lot more stuff than i wanted..
We found a way around the mapped drive problem by disabling UAC, but i'm having flashbacks to the old: "windows is a discoverable operating system"..
As they say in brooklyn, discover this!!
