True. But It's also known that if you're really serious about audio/visual editing, particularly larger files (HD/Uncompressed Audio) that a Mac is the best bet. The computers are designed around to do such things.
One thing I appreciate with Vista is the option to Turbo Cache 1GB of RAM. This helps for loading out of hibernation/sleep and makes even a cold-boot up faster in most cases.
One thign I'm nto fond of is 32Bit OS. This is because of it's lack of RAM viability. You're capped off at 3.5GB at most. Usually less though. Which for everyone except the niche crowd it's not required to have more than 2. 64-bit though from my understand is also known for more problems software wise because most modern programs are designed around the 32 bit architecture.
