Yes, I did read that. That's the sucky part, in my opinion. I fear
Microsoft's position is that the problem is your 'slow' PC (which is
about the same as mine). 

If you look at the specs for Vista, their "Windows Vista Premium Ready"
PC recommendation is below yours in performance. For most of us, the
video card will need upgrading. See:

But, my feeling is their 'Ready' level PC will deliver unacceptable
performance for developers. 

I hope the specific problem you encountered will be addressed in a
future release. But I think the hardware bar has been raised for VSTO
developers as well.
