I've just an article entitled "Fixing Windows Vista, Part 3: Top Troubleshooting Tools" a quick scan at ZDNet - a site that I've always considered to ask deep, probing questions such as "is my tongue far enough up, Mr Ballmer?"
I went as far as the comments (sorry 'talkback') and came across this comment from a user a couple of weeks ago:
"as Vista came closer and closer to RTM, I upgraded the hardware to a P4 3.0(E) GHz Prescott machine with 3 GB RAM and an ATI x1650 Pro with 512 MB RAM. Granted, it was slow, but not *painfully* slow, and I found many many problems, almost always driver related. On those two test beds I was only able to test 32bit versions, but compared to testing XP on a Pentium 200 MHz machine, Vista on a P4 ran a *lot* faster."
Wow - it must be good.
