I love it when people who don't know what they are talking about like to get the masses all up in arms. Claiming that XP is superior is just plain wrong. It's faster if you're still using 5 year old apps and 5 year old hardware. Vista run on proper hardware runs flawlessly. In fairness I have 8GB of ram but it handles the resources properly and doesn't hang. Sometimes a program will crap out but that happens all day long on my Mac Pro as well (both Abode and Apple apps)
Vista is like Leopard. You can't expect to run it on older hardware. With up to date hardware they are both very pleasant to use. We have a mini (core duo 1gb) and the leopard experience is terrible just like Vista is on a "vista capable" system with 512mb of ram, shared video memory and a celeron processor. Yea, we actually have one of those at work. I have a P3 500 with 256mb ram I just setup with Xp that runs nearly as fast as that Celeron with Vista.

It's about the hardware people.
