I'm confused regarding what you mean about Vista vs XP. Did Vista sort through and not copy the duplicate files as you moved the files over? If so, that's impressive. If you're just talking about a cut & paste, I don't understand your statement about XP.

After I put all the songs into one folder, there were many copies of the same file 2, 3, & 4 times. Then when I did the copy of the 5,000 files and pasted them into the new folder, the message came up about the file already existing and do I want to replace it. I checked the "no to all" option. Vista took the list of 5,000 and brought it down to about 2,700 with out any further instruction from me. It took a little under a hour. Now the ones that it sorted out were duplicates of the exact same file. I have tried similar tasks with XP and with under 100 files and it has choked.
