The original Vista performed 50 percent to 100 percent slower than the prevalent XP Service Pack 2

Vista SP1, due out in the first quarter of 2008, barely improved the operating system's performance.

But XP SP3, scheduled for the first half of 2008, did improve on XP's earlier performance, running 10 percent faster than SP2.
