Are you on strong medications?
Any machine supplied with MCE 2005 is well up to the task of running Vista.
Many hobbyists and all serious gamers had machines which would be more than
enough to run Vista.
Mine was not supplied with MCE 2005 (it is a home build), neither is it a
serious gaming machine.
I stepped in no trap, but you are still using FUD to discredit Vista..
