I've come to the conclusion that Vista just came out to early for the hardware and now everyone is experiencing what the OS is really about.

I installed it on a friends PC: 1.8GHZ P4, 512MB RDRAM and Radeon 9250. He swore by XP, didn't like Vista one bit but still fell instantly in love with Win7. Not exactly a person that's easy to convince either.

Unlike other Windows, this one works well on systems that don't reach the requirements. I think MS put the requirements too high on purpose to avoid disappointments (and more lawsuits). Yes, it's better to meet the requirements, but you can definetly get away with 512MB (from what I heard Vista wouldn't even install on such systems).
