Any computer will get slower overtime. Drives become fragmented as new programs are loaded and others are updated. There's really not much that can be done to prevent this.

I'm sure stuff sticking in the registry will still be a problem in Windows 7. I suspect the majority of this is the fault of the program maufactuers not uninstalling the software correctly/fully, and not so much Windows. Mac OS X has a similar problem with various files staying on the drive after software is removed.

Personally, I don't think a Mac is worth the money. While they are fairly nice machines, most everyone I know who's had one has had problems with them. My mother got one through the school. Within a year, the motherboard had to be replaced and the battery will not hold a charge at all.

Personally, I'd stick with Vista a little longer. They've fixed quite a bit in this OS since SP2. It's proven to be very stable and actually fast for me. Plus, while comparing to OS X, you obviously won't have the software compatibility you do with Windows. Well, unless you want to run Bootcamp and such, but then you still have to deal with those hardware issues
