Vista is superior to XP in many many ways. There are documented advancements such as ReadyBoost and relatively unknown ones such as Vista's completely redesigned TCP/IP stack. Generally Vista is bashed as it got bad framerates on OpenGL games in early reviews...cos it doesn't support OpenGL.
Vista's newer TCP/IP algortihms are off by default, so do this at the command prompt:
netsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp
If it doesn't increase your throughput by 20% over XP I will buy you a Pepsi.
Read up on it here:

You can enable CTCP with the netsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp command.
You can disable CTCP with the netsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=none command
