I installed Vista on my MacBook Pro (the 5400rpm HDD preset) and used the drivers provided by Apple for BootCamp'in with XP. I have no problems what-so-ever related to graphics or performance, but I also run under Windows Classic (still use the 'advance' visuals, ie Clear Type fonts or w/e its called).
At any given time while my computer is on, I have running 3-4 instances of VS05 or 03, 3-4 instances of IDA, Trillian Pro, iTunes, EditPlus 2, oh and Calc :o. And a couple of windows explorer windows but I don't think those really matter.
But I get no problems with my performance with Vista. Not only that, but all my music, source code and .idbs are stored on a external 120gb HDD running at 5400rpm through a USB 2.0 hub (FAT32) then about 80% of my applications are stored on that same HDD but in a NTFS partition; all of them are compressed except for any large game related files.
I have NO problems at all with Vista, even though its running tons of heavy duty applications on two different 5400pm HDDs. And I haven't used ReadyBoost in about 3 months.
Did I mention that this was a laptop? Or that Apple makes it? The only problem I have currently with MS is their H2V management (the people behind it anyway).
Maybe some people are just blinded by the headlights of the bandwagons they jump on?
EDIT: It should also be noted I use Home Premium.
