Why do you say that?

It requires about twice the memory allocated to it just to install,
for one thing. Rather steep hardware requirements if you want to
use any of the new "cool" interface features for another. Not to

guaranteed to even be able to host it, as far as I know.

There were some interesting quirks to the guest os installation, as a

From what I've heard so far, Vista is much faster than Windwos XP
for example? Reportedly there were performance problems with beta
versions, but the final one is much faster? It is true?

I don't really know, I haven't made any performance comparisons as
such, and if I did I'm not sure I could legally publish them. ;)
