    But how much do you really like the Aero interface? That's where most of your RAM is going...

    Actually that only takes up about 70 mb of RAM.

    When I tried Vista, turning Aero off saved me a good 400 odd. Hmm...

    Wow, it didn't help for me. In fact on a computer that doesn't even have a GFX card good enough to run Aero(so it wasn't on) it still took up 550 MB running just the OS. I heard it got a lot more streamlined with the new update but I haven't checked it out.

    Perhaps. I've not tried Vista since when it first came out, with any luck Windows updates will have fixed all the little things that annoyed me (and not created more...)

    I'd rather have that than the stupid looking grey interface. Its so old and boring looking...

    Royale Noir is far from bland and uninteresting. Can you get that in Vista?
