XP machines slow down for several reasons. Installing and uninstalling programs, start-up programs, bloatware, installing fonts, viruses and spyware... Vista is supposed to have improved on the rotting problem.One of the biggest advantages of OSX is that it automatically defrags itself so that files don't become cluttered like in XP as they are added, removed, and transferred. Combine that with the fact that you will not get any viruses or spyware and you don't need to install antivirus or antispyware programs that are notorious for causing slow boot ups and wreaking havoc on system memory. So no... you will not experience "OSX Rot"...</blockquote>
