There is just something magical about leaning your head back, letting your eyes roll into the back of your head, and taking a piss while floating in the swimming pool.

my computer
I heard Windows Vista eats a lot of processing power so I bought this computer just to run Vista since Microsoft is so awesome. Can my computer run Windows Vista?
HA HA HA I have to admit your post is pretty funny.
What is also funny is Windows 7 is essentially an optimized upgrade of Windows Vista.
Vista is a fantastic learning experience of what happens when you "outsource" a project. Microsoft outsourced five of the seven parts that made up Vista to companies in India. When it finally came back to Redmond to be assembled it was a terrible mess. In fact I've read over the years that Redmond had to work double time to get what they could fixed to get it to work by launch. Hence why it was heavy on resources yada yada yada.
BUT, the two years between Vista and Windows 7 launch gave Redmond plenty of time to get Vista working right and launch (in my opinion their best OS to date) Windows 7.
Now, for those wondering what Windows 8 is built off Vista and Windows 7 as well.
Check this table out to see the versions. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724 832(v=vs.85).aspx
As you can see Vista is Windows 6.0, Windows 7 is 6.1, and Windows 8 is 6.2.
Would I run Vista in 2013? Hell no and that is only because Windows 7 is Vista optimized. BUT, if I had to choose between XP and Vista I'd go with Vista for sure.
....and knowing is half the battle.
