I HIGHLY recommend that ANYONE with Vista who copies files around their hard drive partitions AND on the network use Altap Salamander instead of the EXTREMELY SLOW and BUGGY Vista file transfer mechanism.
Even after installing the Vista Performance Improvement Update (KB938979), Altap Salamander transfers STILL outperform Vista explorer transfers by a wide margin.
Even better, the Altap transfer box refreshes much more frequently than the Vista transfer box. It also estimates the time remaining better, and is also less apt to be affected by other computer operations.
If they new what was good for them Altap SHOULD conduct and publish scientific benchmarks and comparisons against Vista's native file transferring.
