I'm sure if you have reasonable technical ability and a powerful machine you can get Vista running sweetly. But I don't think it's acceptable that you should have to up your RAM from say 500mb with XP to 2/3/4gb for Vista. I'm not a MS basher and I get really bored with people slagging of MS & I was really looking forward to Vista, but I've used it on brand new laptops and is very slow, especially in contrast to XP.

You make a good point, my op pinion on this is probably not the best as I have done some tweaking etc to get mine running better, have high spec machine etc.
The min for Vista IMO is 2Gig I have 2.5 Gig in use ATM, and when I fire up some virtual machines which I need to do for work this will climb to twice that.
Windows 7 base on the other hand uses much less ram as a base and will be interesting to see how it runs when fully loaded.
