The very first time you start a computer with Vista on it ...takes about 1/2 hour before you get to actually do anything ... it all preloads and carries on ... after that it's not soooo bad ... still slowish by XP standards though ... my XP drive boots to desktop in about 45 - 50 seconds ... Vista drive takes over 2 mins .... same make and size of drive and exact same Laptop (Asus Core2 duo 2.2 - 4GB Ram I swap the drives over) hoping the new Vista service pack will sort some things out

Windows Vista (pronounced /ˈvɪstə/) is an operating system created by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, Tablet PCs, and media centers. Prior to its announcement on July 22, 2005, Windows Vista was known by its codename "Longhorn".[1] Development was completed on November 8, 2006; over the following three months it was released in stages to computer hardware and software manufacturers, business customers, and retail channels. On January 30, 2007, it was released worldwide to the general public,[2] and was made available for purchase and downloading from Microsoft's web site.[3] The release of Windows Vista comes more than five years after the introduction of its predecessor, Windows XP, making it the longest time span between two releases of Microsoft Windows.
Microsoft's primary stated objective with Windows Vista, however, has been to improve the state of security in the Windows operating system.[4] One common criticism of Windows XP and its predecessors has been their commonly exploited security vulnerabilities and overall susceptibility to malware, viruses and buffer overflows. In light of this, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates announced in early 2002 a company-wide "Trustworthy Computing initiative" which aims to incorporate security work into every aspect of software development at the company. Microsoft stated that it prioritized improving the security of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 above finishing Windows Vista, thus delaying its completion.[5]
Windows Vista contains hundreds of new and reworked features; some of the most significant include an updated graphical user interface and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and completely redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network using peer-to-peer technology, making it easier to share files and digital media between computers and devices. Windows Vista includes version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, which aims to make it significantly easier for developers to write applications than with the traditional Windows API.

I have a brand new Duo Core 3.8 GHz laptop running Vista, and my MAC book runs circles around it.

NO! Windows Vista is a massive software package. I calculated it at around 20GB (I think, but I'd have to recheck that)

It will seem slow at the start as it will be updating itself.
This could take many hours to get all the programs updated.
After this it will speed up and work normally.

Depends on the speed of your CPU, and how much memory you have. The more the better.
