It's true the demands for a system running Vista is higher, but look at the technology 5 or 6 years ago. You wouldn't have thought all of this would be available. The only reason XP runs as good as it does now is because newer technology allows for better preformance. The same will be for Vista.
I don't think that XP on a 200MHz, 128mb of ram will be fun nowadays, technology took care of that. (If any of you are running that configuration, I applaud you. You have a lot of patience)
I too am running Vista. I have found no faults that everyone is getting upset over. The laptop I am running on was 'Designed for XP'. But Vista runs better than XP did.
As for testing I tested it for 2 years once I was able to be on the beta team.

I'm quoting you for absolute truth. Vista is looking ugly and sluggish, but you make an excellent point and I, too, am willing to give Vista time. When XP came out I remember hearing all sorts of this and that - It wasn't even until SP2 came out that XP panned out so nicely. Can we assume Vista will do the same? No, but I'm willing to at least give it a chance ... in time.
Currently I'm running XP on a lame-o eMachine with 256mb of RAM. Sucks, but it's bearable.
