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.

Everything is negligible when your a clueless moron ...
New Graphic card and ram are not given away for free.
It's also pissing people of to have to add 200$ more for a 1500$ computer they just bought that as a Windows Vista ready sticker on it.
If I was a zealot you would be dead by now. Because that's what zealot do and are , they kill people they disagree with. You have NEVER met a zealot in your life.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

What?!? OEMs were giving away new graphic cards and RAM for free with XP? I had no idea. /sarcasm

That's complete BS. The sweetspot for new Vista desktop machines is actually somewhere in the $600-800 ballpark, so you're full of crap.

A broader definition of zealot is "a fanatical partisan".
You have NEVER met a zealot in your life.
Oh, I most certainly have. Shake your own hand.

Vista runs just fine on most hardware sold within the past couple years, despite what the zealots say. You need at least 2GB of memory and a reasonable video card, of course, but the cost of those items is negligible. From what some people say, you'd think they had to give a kidney to get Vista running.
