Personally, the bloat doesn't bother bother me, but I know it does others, I just disable some of the process reliant services like readyboost, firewall, windows defender, defrag, bitlocker, and a few others, the backup file I just set to OS files only so keeps it to a minimum.
If Vista will operate effectively with 2 gig and not suck all the resources I will try it..When I first read that you needed 2 gig to run it that turned me off.
I have 2 gig in that system BUT 500MB is needed constantly for the WU's.
