That's the bottomline.
Uhm... for all practical purposes Vista = XP. They changed the kernel which makes loading and process handling a little better and the interface changed. But the middle layer of Vista (which is the majority of it) is unchanged from XP.

It still uses a registry as it's core, that gets slow fast because there is no way to clean it without buying third party cleaners and defragmenters. The hard drive also gets fragmented which slows the computer down.
