Let's see -- 1GB is OK, more is nice. Anything less don't bother.

If you don't have a DX9 or DX10 graphics card with good Vista drivers (ie one of ours ) then don't bother. The compositing UI ("Aero" ?) is nice enough that it outweighs all the stupid little changes, but if you have to run the legacy UI then all you get are the stupid little changes and IMO you're better off staying with XP.

The tabbed browser is nice but you can get IE7 (or Firefox etc..) on XP.
