One question might be, and I'll be as direct as I can be about this, what is .Net? Unlike Windows, where you could say it's a product, it sits in one place, it's got a nice little box. In some senses, it's a very good question.

Re: Anything but Speechless: 100 Things People Are Really Saying
I have run Vista Home Premium on similar specs (512MB RAM and graphics card that had either 32MB or 64MB - can't remember...it died...and a modest Athlon XP2200 CPU). Vista ran fine. To my knowledge Vista Ultimate doesn't require more power than Home Premium.
As far as assisting you with getting it to work...Windows has a feature where you put the CD in the drive and click 'Install Now'. The rest is done for you, although at some point you need to tell it what time zone you're in. It will install in about 30 minutes...actually probably more like 1 hour on your hardware.
Anyway, you can run Vista no problem with the hardware you specified. I don't know what you mean by a 3D desktop - Windows doesn't have this feature. It sounds like some sort of gimmicky toy interface.
So why are you interested in Vista? Are you sick of the hassle of installing hardware on Linux or sick of the fact you can't find any software that works?
If you really want to go to Windows, I'd recommend XP as it performs slightly better than Vista on outdated hardware.
