While I can personally attest for the gains Microsoft made when it comes to Windows Vista's performance between its release-to-manufacture November 2006 and now, there is no denying the fact that Vista simply isn't made for running on lower-specced computers. In addition, while Vista brings interesting new features and massive overhauls of many subsystems, a lot of people simply don't like it. Sadly for them, Windows XP is going out-of-sale 30 June. However, there are plenty of loopholes - PC World listed them.

My machine, from 2001, had a 60USD mem upgrade and now runs Vista, with full Aero, just fine. A friend of mine is sending me a spare processor for free he had lying around (so I'm going from an Athlon XP 1600+ to a 2800+) and my machine will chug along just fine.
