Everybody Knows Windows Vista uses more memory than it’s predecessor Windows XP.
Analyze that:

Starting Windows Vista with no application opened (just the initial ones):
Use of Memory about 900 Mbytes

If You have just 1.5 Gbytes on laptop (notebook) it’ll a hard work to
start your job’s applications (like VisualStudio, Photoshop, etc).

Back to Windows XP is not the perfect solution yet.
So, What We got to do?

Lately, I have learned “the ways of the Linux” and I can tell you that It’s a better Operational System today to end-users. You don’t need to be an Expert to use or configure it.

Think of it, the memory used by this system with Graphic Interface is about 200 Mbytes (yeah)

My Solution:
Install Linux (I’ve used Ubuntu)
Install Wine (to run application inside linux)
Install Windows XP on VirtualBox (to virtualize softwares with no compatibility with linux and wine)
Used of memory about 700Mbytes (Believe it, but depends of the quantity of memory you set to your virtualized Windows XP 400Mbytes that was great for me)
