Being a happy P4 owner, I still find the animated Intel ad that's been appearing at the top end of Sysopt forum pages recently kind of funny.

Do they actually believe this themselves? I wonder. If your business is using pcs that are 2 years old or more, sure, you could probably notice some nice changes from upgrades, but there's not a critical difference business-wise between the abilities of a well made Willamette and a Northwood 2.8-3.06. Like you need hyper-threading to run a virus scan.

But most importantly, they neglect to mention the time cost to you when setup day comes and you have to decide how to carry over all your documents and large data files, and all the clueless people need help with things like changing their desktop resolution, wallpaper, and mouse sensitivity After that you'll get complaints that the Start Menus aren't exactly the same as before, and that's not even going into all the fun of educating the masses about the minor differences in the new version of Windows.
