Not true, Never even heard that.
I have heard of that about IE7 back when IE7 was in beta though.

Try buying a Mac with their previous OS on it. Good luck! and its been out for what a month?
Of the 5 people that I know with macs that upgraded, 4 of them went back to the old version after just a couple days with the new OS.

You mean Vista runs faster on some specific hardware then other.
Macs have it easy, they right one set of drivers, because they control what hardware people use, Try putting a different video card into a mac and see how well it works.
Windows makes an OS thats supposed to work on an almost unlimited amount of different configurations of hardware.

It sucks for developers, too, because it limits what they can write to the registry and what they can write to the Program Files folders for the apps. These are not insurmountable obstacles; developers just have to learn a new way of coding. Doesn't mean they don't bitch about it, though.
Congratulations on proving you have no idea what RAM is or what its used for.
Yes Vista will allocate every last bit of ram not being used. Why wouldnt it? RAM that is sitting un used is wasted ram, might as well put it to use.
The good thing abotu vista is it actually knows how to properly allocate RAM usage unlike XP.
When you render video Vista will give up all the ram the rendering program can use. And of course editors are using 4gb instead of 2 now, why wouldnt they, vista can actually use 4gb unlike XP. 4gb will run slower then 2gb in a vista system.
