Funnily enough, I've spent the last year testing various releases of vista, on various configurations of machines (more than 30 of them) ranging from 2Ghz P4s with 256 Meg ram up to 3.6Ghz P4s with 2 Gig, and up through the core cpu range. Had problems with some software (which has usually been sorted through a patch for the software itself or Vista), but can't honestly say I've noticed problems with speed on most of the machines (apart from the 256Meg 2Ghz ones, but that's sorted with a memory upgrade).
BTW, I am a long-term Vista, Linux (ubuntu) and Mac OS user, and, tbh, still can't really recommend Linux for the desktop user. Linux has progressed a lot, but still has a way to go.
Actually, I should rephrase that last bit. I still can't recommend it for the desktop user who isn't willing/able to learn new things.
Now, perhaps we could get off the "Vista/Linux is crap" box and start talking about exactly why he should use an OS, rather than why he shouldn't?
