Well XP is of course faster, but if you do want to try and tweak Vista, SP1 is out for it and fixes quite a few bugs (400+mb download) Now how much faster depends on applications, see the link here to Toms Hardware (one of the best, of course arguably) he has XP and Vista comparedhttp://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/xp-vs-vista,1531.htmlAnd check here, the service configurations, he has them for both XP and Vista, there is a helluva lot of stuff you probably will never use that loads uphttp://www.blackviper.com/
