Well like it says in the conclution "no new Windows release has been able to offer more application performance than its predecessor" so this does not seem to be a surprise. I think the speed of the processors next year and going forward are going to make the present loss of performace a non issue. In the meantime I do not see any reason to run out and get Vista. For me though I think I might want to set up a seperate hard drive or even a virtual one and run Vista to mess with it a bit and see what it is all about while gaming on the XP tip.
