if we didnt move on, we'd still be complaining about how xp is slower than 98.
it only makes sense, that in order to move to the next tier, some sacrifices will be made.
I built my last years computer around the vista OS because I wanted dx10. the pc runs very fast, though i will admit, because the drivers havent entirely matured yet, there are some games that appear to clip more on occasion than if it were to run on xp. these games are typically older dx9 games (and unfortunately some new ones like NFS PS as well). other than that, the vista UI is much quicker than xp on the same system
