Just the way Vista is set up and how things work makes all the difference. XP, out of the box, is terribly set up, but you can improve it. But if you're building or buying a new computer, specificially for gaming or multimedia, Vista is the way to go with DirectX10 and all that sort of stuff and Media Centre, which I really like.
Unless they sell laptops with 512mb and Vista on it. They did it for some time here. Now they realised it didn't work that well, so the memory size is usually 2gb at the minimum now.
I think Windows 7 will be like Vista if we talk about the looks. Windows XP was, in some way, similar to good old Windows 95. Same goes for Windows 98 and ME. Vista was some new concept and they won't throw it away that easily. I hope my laptop can survive trough Vista. I might buy a new one with 7 on it. It's my favourite number afterall.
