I'm sure your argument of people running it on old systems is very valid too and thus counts for maybe half of the complaints. But still the other 50% would be on new computers then, and still people complain... Something must be wrong then? Also, working for an Apple reseller since Vista was released an exponential amount of windows-to-mac switchers has occurred... We barely can't cope in some of our stores.

I wouldn't put Photoshop on it, but it wasn't sluggish to use for general stuff. @SHRIKEE: I don’t know what you did bro, but I have installed it on less of a system and it ran just fine.

Coincidentally i had to test some stuff on Vista (Yes even Apple Service Employees need to sometimes!) So i grabbed a 2 Ghz Core duo / 1GB ram Macbook and installed Vista on it. It took like 20-35 minutes to install, bootcamp drivers worked out fine. Updates also went smooth. So all in all my experience wasn't that bad with setting it up. Gotta be fair here! But damn was everything slow while working on the desktop. On every mouse click i kept seeing that *loading* cursor for a split second and of course delayed the action i did too a bit. All i did was for example selecting files and run some command prompt stuff. Or when i was unmounting my USB pen drive i would choke on everything but the message telling me i could remove it. Booting the computer actually took 3 minutes to the login screen. I didn't *actually* use vista before so i had to search for some things. The search function took longer to locate the files i needed than i would think again and navigate to it myself. Horrible! But vista is sluggish slow system!
