NT was started with IBM as os/2
back them (8 years+ ago) the presentation
manager (windows) was a bit spongy and didnt
react straight away
 
seems Microsoft has kept this feature
 
try it - if your machine is connected to a network
try right clicking a browser page - the menu takes a while to appear
while in win95/98 it appeared immediately
 
in my configuration (pIII 750 256mb ram) it can take up to
3 seconds for the menu to appear
even when the fade effect is switched off (control panel display settings)
 
also when choosing from the file dialog
(file open in any application) and clicking the drop down menu
this can take ages
 
this is no way acceptable
 
do better MS

The only time I have the delay is when I have McAfee installed on that machine. If I don't have McAfee ViruScan installed, I can right click on any browser page (web or otherwise) and get the menu immediately.
