Is there a consensus on whether I should do that? Is it possible that when the next service pack comes out, things will work better? Should I maybe create an XP partition?

My experience so far with my Acer dual-core with 1 gig of RAM is that Vista is fast enough in the beginning, but bogs down faster than XP ever did.
I ended up going ahead and replacing Vista with XP, and have not regretted that decision. I've slapped on all the usual software, about 50 gigs worth of it, and it's still a powerhouse.
I'll try Vista again in the future once the kinks are taken care of, but for the time being, I am enjoying XP's fast loading time of <10 s, as opposed to Vista's 2 minute mark.
