Vista operating system is a little slow

that depends on your hardware. does it have enough RAM? XP could run fine on just 1gb of RAM but you may find vista a bit laggy if you only have 1gb of RAM. i personally find that vista is faster than xp.
 
Xp will always be faster than Vista imo,XP 32 bit flys on my system in siggy with 4gb of ram,Vista x64 still doesnt respond half the time how it should.

But more ram will definatly help if you have only 1gb.
 
Vista will always be faster on the computers with more RAM/Quad Core etc. No matter what people say, its been proven I believe. Make sure you have 2GB of RAM, and Service Pack 1 installed. Also, dedicated video makes it quicker.
 
Vista defiantly runs faster on my machine than XP did. I also find it more stable and less virus-able. I used to be with the 'vista sucks' crowd but now I'm a convert!

Me too. Until I used it for a month.

I have Vista x64 and XP x86 both installed on my i7 pc right now.

Vista is quicker clicking through Windows, it boots quicker, it's
WAAAAY nicer to look at. It's just better to me.

XP is fine and I have it installed to run a couple older games that
don't like 64bit OS's. Other than that, I don't use it.
 
I wouldnt say vista is slower than XP but it can be depending on the type of computer/system you are on, my sisters laptop has vista home premium on it and its faster than XP (a little faster anyway).
But as vista uses all these extra files installed on your computer, if your computer is old and you have vista installed, you will experience many errors and performance. Possibly crashing all the time due to lack of things.

Thats why you should take the Vista advisor to check to see if your system is compatible with the new operating system vista ;)
 
I think that XP will always be faster than Vista. Unless Microsoft finished developing their latest OS, then I think it would not be advisable to upgrade computers. Since you had Vista already then you must try installing a RAM with a larger memory. I am still not sure if the company would develop it further or leave it at that. I hope they continue to upgrade Vista. :)

Maybe you run too many programs at the same time or you have a slow machine. I suggest you add more RAM, if you have only 1GB.
In my experience, XP is faster.
