-Is windows new vista operating system running all the trading apps. that one would need? I have heard mixed things on vista
-What performance measures should I get at a minimum? (computer specs)

I currenlty own pcs with both XP and Vista. For trading, I highly recommend XP and forget Vista. Vista is too slow of an OS and is designed for entertainment and not work.
I currently run a Core 2 Duo cpu with 4gig ram. I usually custom build mine as the final price becomes lower than buying a packaged pc. Are you aiming for performance? XP with minimum 2gig ram is the way to go in my opinion.
