There is clearly something wrong with your setup then, or your computer is 
too old. I'm running Vista64 on two desktops in dualboot mode with XP Pro 
and it is very rare that I go back into XP any more. V64 is far superior. I 
don't even need a 3rdparty virus checker or firewall any more; not used one 
since April. I also have two new laptops using Vista32, and another using XP 
Pro.

If you don't like the GUI, just turn it off. For years the first thing I do 
when installing a new version of Windows is to choose 'Classic Mode' in 
everything. So I don't lose any efficiency running 'visual makeup', and 
Vista is more stable, more secure, and far better than XP! Just my 
experience of course.

And with 64 bit LightRoom out, and 64 bit Photoshop nearly here, I can use 
all my 8GB ram and hardly use the old 'scratch disks' any more.

Of course if you are trying to run the latest programs on an old laptop or 
desktop, you will have problems, and since the generation time for 
processors, chipsets, and the like is about 6 months, a three-year-old 
machine is six generations out-of-date! It needs upgrading/replacing to use 
the latest and best software. Otherwise stick with the old software that was 
designed for the old hardware.

Horses for courses!
