I still think Leopard is better, and I just switched my main PC from Vista to Server 2008 so I'm not a fanboy or anything, but Vista is good, there are a lot of little things on Vista that I miss when I'm running XP (Work/School)

   6 Feb 2009 ~ 1:52pm chrisWhite You know what, I don't buy the instabilities most of the time. I ran Vista 64 on a custom built system from the early betas and I never had a major driver or instability problem. I think most of that is people not taking the time to understand things like the UAC.
   
   However, you're totally right on the speed, I don't need to benchmark it to know it's slower, not a ton slower, and not if you have a lot of RAM, but yeah, it takes more system resources. That's the main reason I switched to Server 2008, that and virtualization. But for most people I think the speed trade off justified for having a better OS that does more and has a much more pleasant and fluid experience.
   
   I'd certainly love a faster OS whenever MS updates it like Apple does, but that's got to be really difficult.
