I have installed a couple releases of Vista, and even on my computer that has a Vista performance rating of 4.7 (out of 5), it still studders quite a bit. Another thing you didn't mention in your article was gaming. The whole Games for Windows campaign is setting up Vista and DirectX 10 as a leap forward in gaming. Yet games that ran flawlessly on my computer with XP (Half Life 2, Age of Empires 3, etc.), even in windowed mode, have framerates that, even on lower settings, make the games nigh unplayable on Vista.
