Windows 7 comes with a Win XP SP3 Virtual Machine(not crummy compatibility mode) so you can continue to use your favourite XP software.

Yes I would certainly say Windows 7 uses less resources and is faster than Vista. From a cold boot I can open Firefox and surf Canreef.com in less than 45 seconds, with Vista this probably took two full minutes to do.
