Well most of the reviews I've read of RTM Vista code show that many applications are slower on Vista. There are some that are faster though. Most games are slower and those that use OpenGL are up to 1/4 the speed on Vista that they run on XP.

xp-vs-vista
Here is the conclusion page

Built-in Anti-Piracy / Anti-Copying algorithms at the kernel level.

Doesn't sound like my cup of tea and I like Windows

My friend has a vista look theme its pretty good.
But just from the mentions above, i can see my current PC
ending its life on XP when ever that may be.

All ready sounds like a Service Pack is needed.

Actually interested in your feedback on Office 2007 - in the beta I found issues with it not wanting to run my older plugins and DDE for some things didn't work well. But it was beta and may work now in RTM.
