Windows is slow due to several background tasks taking up your computers resources such as explorer.exe.

To fix this on an old machine it's recomended to install a lighter OS (Operating System) such as a GNU/Linux distrobution or BSD (which are free) or upgrade your hardware.

Why upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7?

Windows Vista is an awful piece of software. It's slow and had numerous development problems. Microsoft did a terrible job... (I got a Mac Book because I was so mad) Windows 7 is a great improvement! It runs more like a real Windows computer should! So in conclusion, Vista = garbage and Windows 7 = The God of Microsoft operating systems.
