I've used vista for 4 months on my new Laptop. Memory usage was at 40% most of the time and 5~15 minutes after boot, the harddisk will still be grinding. So, I decided to downgrade to Windows XP and dualboot with Ubuntu 8.04. Things are running a lot faster and smoother, and I can almost hear the harddisk whispering "thanks for saving my life".
