Disable many of the visual effects for SIGNIFICANT improvements in performance especially if you have a crappy video card, or not enough RAM.

well, i've finally bit the bullet and got a new system with vista home premium. No complaints so far. Rock solid, clean (after I configured it right), sleeps, hibernates, wakes up, works great. Boots up really fast.

I really like the windows media center that comes with it by default.

That said... cancel/allow is really annoying indeed :P  lol  Every little thing... sometimes multiple times in a row.  The Mac/Bunu way of have a sudo really is much better.
