that's called the placebo effect. there is no way it's faster with the same hardware...
Then apparently you have no idea how an Operating System works. With constant idle time indexing/defragmentation, folder merging, and caching, it works much faster. Taking 2 of the exact same issued laptops, running the same benchmarks on them both with XP, and then running them again after 1 was changed to Vista and 1 was not, is a pretty accurate test. And guess what? Searching for files, loading Office Products, loading 3 different games, and loading Photoshop all had improved times. I call this "the actual effect."
We didn't convert over 300 laptops without a lot of testing.
Try saying something intelligent instead of "fail" and I might give you more credit for your statement.
