If you have a new system that was properly set up for Vista, and you have lots of memory, and you don't care about the programs that won't run on Vista even if they will run on XP (quite a few, but really a small minority of Windows programs), or that are odd corner-cases that run tremendously slower on Vista (like dybdahl's programs) I think you will be fine. Vista is a bit slower than XP on most programs on most equivalent PCs, but usually not massively slower (except in low RAM systems). You could run in to driver issues where your hardware isn't supported, but that happens for every new Windows version.
