Vista woos people with it's aesthetic, when in reality, that very same attractiveness is its downfall. If you want to make the most out of Vista, remove the fluff, and make it look and run like XP, and you'll find yourself computing MUCH more efficiently.

I'm running a quad processor with 8gigs of RAM so I'm not having any problems.

As for the Aesthetic stuff, well, I love that. My side bar has a clock, calender, two note pads, the weather, a caculator, and a CPU monitor. I'd be hard press to live without these.
