A mistake made by many, I suppose, is judging a lightweight Plain Vanilla
Vista, rather than see how it copes with a load of needed programs (e.g.
Adobe Reader, Firefox).
You cannot compare hardware requirements (or even # of bugs, or speed of
installation) of a modern Linux distribution and that of Vista. It's a case
of comparing apples and oranges as Linux is prepackaged with an enormous
wealth of packages.
