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.

* Who's OEM vendor in 2001 where selling computer with easily swappable CPU ? Most of them where soldiering the CPU in those days and changing the CPU would void the warranty.
Never EVER seen a single OEM PC with soldered-on CPU! I have never even heard of such things before you claimed that! Besides, Thom never said if his PC is OEM or not..
* What kind/brand of Motherboard are we talking about here one with expansion slot and upgradability ? That's not really a 2001 OEM motherboard I know.
What are you babbling about?
* What onboard graphic card from 2001 run Vista perfectly ?
Didn't see him claiming such either.
So, what are you trying to do? Troll about Vista?
