I've seen quite a reviews saying that with 2Gb of RAM Vista works,
and really starts to work when you have 4Gb.
Vista is like NT4 all over again, lots of older/poor code didn't work,
there were no drivers and it ate resources like they were going out of
fashion. All in all Windows95/98 were much easier to live with.
If you compare Vista with XPSP3, XP seems the better bet, yet as with
NT4, I bet Vista will displace XP, it will just be as slow as anyone,
except Microsoft, predicted.
