It certainly isn't. What I meant to say that it takes more time in booting, but after that it works as well as XP.

I use my laptop only for mailing, viewing/editing documents, photo viewing (no processing; I do that on my desktop). For all these requirements, Vista works better than XP.
There are many things where Vista scores over XP. I will try to list a few here -
1. Bundled DVD writer software. The one which comes with XP is useless, I always had to use Nero on XP.
2. Media Player can play pretty much every type of video without installing any Codecs. In XP I had to download so many codecs to make avi, mp4 etc. run.
3. A small feature but pretty useful - when you take the mouse cursor to task-bar on a program it shows that program's pre-view. Very useful when working on many instances of same program.
N_C faced some issue in synchronizing his mobile; I daily synchronize my E61 with Outlook, never faced any problems.
