It's a good thing because unused memory is wasted memory.
Would you rather your RAM chips sat in your machine unused, or would you rather the operating system cached (or pre-cached) some data in them in case it was needed in a hurry? I presume the latter.
Vista will give back that memory if it looks like something is going to need it for other purposes.
