ITtoolbox reviews Windows Vista, and they conclude: "If you value innovation, new technology and you can afford it, Vista is a great buy and I seriously doubt you'd regret it. If you're a business user, the justification for the additional cost just isn't there quite yet (with a few exceptions). I was pleasantly surprised how nicely it has come together (at least at this point)." My take: Soon, I will write an article about how I feel about Vista after having used it for a much longer time than was the case in my previous review. I will also have something to say on using Vista on some lower-end hardware (it ain't pretty).

The performance shouldn't be affected as the processor dynamically adjusts according to the load - same situation right now when I run Linux.
Although it probably isn't as 'fine grained' as the frequency adjusting in Windows, there isn't a noticeable performance hit.
Infact, when I had an iMac G5, which had the dynamic cpu frequency adjustment, there was a benchmark actually made on this exact issue - worse case scenario was a <5% performance hit.
