I recall this step-by-step guide pertaining to VMWare - not sure if there are any pointers on there that might help you.

If you look on the net, there are some quite in depth technical blogs from the Microsoft OS people talking about how they've optimised the OS and solved some of the more fundamental low level issues. I was reading something the other day how they've solved the problem of one application locking out all of GDI (i.e. the screen) even whilst its code is being loaded from the swap file. That alone should improve multi-tasking considerably, if not single app performance.
I was also reading how the V7 version of Aero only uses video memory for each window image, whereas Vista uses two: one in video memory and one in system memory, taking away much needed system memory.
So it does seem that there's more to it than Vista with a new taskbar. Hard to judge any of this in a VM though.
It's like the difference between Win2k and WinXP, rather than the difference between WinXP and Vista

Yep, been playing with it for a couple of weeks. Seems to be very stable, and anything capable of running Vista will run it with ease.
