Strange performance drop in Vista
So the days of being able to simply listen to the hard drive crunching are long over. On Windows XP, if my system was slow, I'd bring up the task manager and check CPU.

Windows has done weird stuff to filenames in the GUI ever since Windows 95 The spaces must be escaped and look like "%20". So a file that is " foo.jpg" winds up being %20%20foo.jpg in a url.
