That is one of the problems with Vista, there 's like 5 or 6 versions. This is where people get discouraged and have a bad experience with Vista.
Slower? It is a bit slower on my Laptop, but on my Gaming machine it actually works faster, especially in games. I think it because of the multi cores. Actually, It does not do much more than XP does. In fact I would not recommend buying the OS to replace XP. But if you get a new computer I would recommend getting the OS. When getting the OS, I recommend getting Home Premium or Higher.
