What the fuck are you guys talking about? LOL When I first ran FFXI on Vista, it runs AMAZINGLY well. I have no problems whatsoever, no slow-down, no heating up (the only heating up I get is with virus scanning, and that's IT), no lag etc. Just update your graphics drivers, use Clean Disk to remove temporary files, defragment your hard drive and what not, but mainly just keep your laptop/computer up-to-date.
I have Vista Home Premium, 2 gigs of RAM, NVidia GeForce 8400M GS with 128MB and 200GB hard drive (will get a desktop expansion with 400GB hard drive this summer for $390 as a combo, possibly another 2 gigs of RAM for a total of $610; don't worry, I can make almost $500 for working 2 weeks at a DAYCARE lmao That is if I don't spend it 
). Like I said, my computer can run FFXI flawlessly. The ONLY problem I had to play the game on my once-new Vista computer was that on S-E's FFXI website, you had to download their Vista-compatible PlayOnline viewer.
EDIT: Oh, and it's an HP laptop brand. I also have no issues whatsoever with the OS. The ONLY issue that started is with the first service pack, that one of the updates before I installed it conflicts with Explorer and causes my desktop screen to not load when I boot or restart my computer. All I have to do is open Task Manager and Run Task for "Explorer," and then everything comes up. I had that Task Manager help from when I took my laptop to Best Buy's Geek Squad and one of the guys just did "Run Explorer," and everything was fixed. All I have to worry about is when Microsoft is going to fix it, or I may have to email them about it... Oh, and I have NO SLOW-DOWN WHATSOEVER with any other applications. I just wish my damn Sonic the Hedgehog CD (the PC version of the Sega CD console game) would work on Vista (didn't on XP either; only Windows 98 lol). The sad thing is that my Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles CD works on Vista, but not Sonic CD
