The older OS is always zippier on newer hardware. I still remember doing a 12 second cold boot of Win95 in a 1999 made laptop. Therefore, 2001 released XP will definitely be faster on 2008 PCs.

But here is the fact. Microsoft moves on, so will the world. We all have seen people who wanted to stick with DOS, Win95, Win98, etc. Now it is XP.

About 6 months ago I got 3 Vista machines, one at home and two at work. We haven't experienced any major issues with Vista, which we mostly use for software development. Now that we are comfortable with it, I have ordered 4 more Vista PCs.

By next week I'll be on a new HP Vista PC (4GB RAM) which will replace my 4 year old IBM xSeries XP-Pro PC. Vista is more than a year old and SP1 is also out. That's enough waiting for me.
