The system tends to be sluggish, even with 1 GB of RAM and a modern dual-core CPU. Although Vista is supposed to be virus-proof, the system shipped with McAfee firewall and virus protection software (which I uninstalled, along with everything else that seemed superfluous, in an attempt to boost the machine’s responsiveness).
Summary: So far inferior in every way to Windows XP.
On the other hand, XP is quite snappy under Parallels on my MacBook Pro. And, when it has to be rebooted for some security update, the computer is still useful :)
