I don't think that's so true of 7 - I ran vista and have been running  
7 on a laptop since beta and now with the MSDN released version and it  
uses far less resources than vista , and bar gfx requirements runs  
similar to XP. Certainly not as swift as my Xubuntu install, but not  
true that it's worse than Vista.
