First one, well yes a bit of difference there, 2nd one, virtually all the same, 3rd one, considering that vista and win 7 are probably twice as large/capacity/features of xp, not bad, shutdown, vast improvement 
Now I just have one question, what is the minimum memory for Vista/Win 7? as I dont think its 1gb, thought it was 2gb??

The miminum recommended memory for Vista is 512mb is running Home Basic or 1GB if running Home Premium / Business / Ultimate. I'd not run it on less than 2GB though.
Windows 7 is less RAM hungry. It's recommended to run with 1GB and I can honestly say it runs fine with 1GB.

a fancy task bar and .5sec quicker shutdown
It's vist SP2a lol
6 months in when you've littered your registry with installs/uninstalls and disk fragmentation vista/xp/7 will all be similarly shoddy performance !
localised registries like OSX are the way to go!

Well reported that it only happens on a small number of machines with specific chipset drivers (i.e. it's a bug in the drivers, not windows).
Having said that, the rtm build was supposed to be posted on msdn today but nothing has appeared yet (so perhaps they are looking into it).
