Some of the speed increases you mention might just be due to a fresh OS install.
I skipped Vista and have to say the overall experience improvement from XP is decent and everything still works fine.

Im not seeing a reason to fork out £100 (£50 for upgrade) per computer.

I don't know, even with tweaks Vista has always been slow on my laptop made for it (and it's a pretty damn good laptop too).

Vista was a mess to begin with.

my Core 2 Duo 1.73ghz T5300 1GB DD2 667mhz IGP 950  takes almost 30s to boot on vista, around 20s on 7 and 15-10 on Ubuntu.

but for gaming perfomance i get the same FPS in Wow and lineage 2.

i was going to build new desktop to play games, but it doens't sound like a big improvement in speed, it's better than vista, but that something to be proud of.
