Vista Forums - View Single Post - Vista Copy Speed over the network is slower that XP SP2 and OSX..much slower?

Carey,
The only difference between mapped drives and shortcuts as described
in the zdnet article is the ability to use more descriptive names,
right? Is there a performance benefit from using a shortcut instead of
mapped drive (as our client is accustomed to mapped drives)?

Im going to give the "Disk Performance Analyzer for Networks" a shot
on Monday.

Thanks!

Sam
