I honestly cannot understand why you would have such a problem with it.. I truly believe it is a problem with your system, drivers, hardware or some software you have. If it runs slower than xp something is wrong and it is not Vista.... Vista is way faster than xp on both of my systems and I have tested it using various programs... It manages memory better and power too..

I would go over your system and try again. Format the harddrive and start clean. trust me, it is not Vista. Once you have it working correctly I bet you that you will not want to use any system without it... Man it is so awesome... networking, security..... everything....

Good luck though.. must be some incompatability somewhere...

Well Vista is great, but if you don't have plenty of cpu power and ram, then I wouldn't suggest using the Aero transparencies. On my machine everything runs great. The only problem I had at first was restricted download speeds. I'm not paying what I do on high-speed internet to have restricted and slowed downloads. Anyways, this was easily fixed with a patch I found highly recommended on the net. I have all the same great features of XP and then some. If any of you have tons of software installed on your computer than you might like the new organization of the start menu. It's uncluttered now.

I also haven't had any problems with games either. I have been able to play most games with max graphics and game performance.

I guess I'll wrap up and say Vista has been good to me so far, but who knows what will happen. It's new!
