Some testing by the exo.performance.network research staff shows that SP1 provides no measurable relief to users saddled with sub-par performance under Vista.

Oh, and P.S.: There's no way Spaces is something that you were "really missing from Linux". Virtual desktops have been around in the Linux world since forever. That statement makes me seriously doubt you've ever used Linux.
As Nossie commented above, what I meant was that OSX didn't have Virtual Desktops, and I was missing it when migrated from Linux to OSX.

I'd agree that the problems I've had with Vista don't make sense. In fact, were I not on the receiving end of that fustercluck, I'd have been very skeptical of anybody telling me that Vista was such a pathetic hog. But I not only had the joy of experiencing each of those pains myself; I also had to support a small office, with each Vista box blowing up in its own special, incomprehensible way.
There are lots of little things (i.e. different .NET execution policies between the various Vista Distros) that make migration and compatibility testing a nightmare. And when you throw in the blatant failings in other areas (network I/O, zip decompression, network storage, and more), it was enough to make any reasonable person question the value that Vista is supposed to deliver.
