My experience has been completely different. Been on XP for like 4 years now. Never had a guest account on my PC. Even my P4 rig used to boot very fast due to good maintenance. XP slowed down only when infected with a virus. When I boot XP, without antivirus, it has about 20 processes running. The same is about 32 when on Win7. There lies the main speed difference. Lesser processes to run, means faster bootup. Vista was a nuisance though, with about 40 processes on bootup. Never has Win7 x64 booted faster than XP 32bit for me.

For low end rigs, still XP is king. If you have more than 2GB RAM, then nothing in W7 should worry you. But still, for systems with 2GB RAM, the eyecandy better be turned off in W7.
