It already is. Unless a miracle happens in Microsoft, Vista might be the slowest and most inefficient OS ever made.

Mac OSX is based on BSD, which is known for stability, speed, and security. I'd be surprised to see Vista present something new besides graphics and cosmetic stuff.

I really don't want to get into a mac rant here, but the only reason that OSX is based on Darwin is because they needed a kernal

FYI: It actually runs as fast, if not faster than XP on my box, so i'm not sure where your information is coming from, but mine is coming from personal experience.

I used Vista Beta 2 myself too. It was about 33 to 75% slower than XP on my AMD dual-core system.
I even tried disabling some of Vista's services, but it only helped a little.
Not sure how you did it, unless your computer is amazingly fast or something.
