"I have been using Mac OS X as my primary OS for almost a year now, but last night I switched back. What spurred it is that my Mac OS X partition crashed and it wouldn't boot back into the OS - I used rescue tools and drive scanners but it appears that the partition just disappeared. I booted into a much smaller NTFS partition and put the Vista install disk in."

People will mod you down because you make an offtopic comment, or although against the 'policy' - a stupid poorly constructed argument. I can look through this forum and find atleast 1/2 dozen posts that are pro-Windows, infact, the latest one was marked 5 which outlined the lack of commercial applications on Linux. Sorry, to scream 'persecution' is alot easier to accept that maybe your post was crap.
Regarding your 'performance issues' - nice that you failed to provide your machine specifications, I'm sitting here with a HP dv6209TX laptop running Ubuntu, it is vastly faster than Windows Vista Business Edition on the same machine, and as for OpenSolaris B63, it is rocketting fast.
I'm sorry, but it is absolutely pathetic when an operating system that has been in development for 5-6 years to have such dog terrible performance - even if you take hardware compatibility and software compatibility out of the mix, the performance is still terrible.
I'm sorry, but when small company's and organisations (relative to Microsoft) like Conical, Sun, Red Hat, Novell, Debian and the likes can push out distributions which are superior speed, stability and security compared to an organisation the size of Microsoft, there needs to be some heads rolling at Microsoft, because obviously their resources are poorly managed and allocated.
