I read this thread & the other one today about VISTA as a whole, & to "SAY NO/BOYCOTT" VISTA.
Yes, & I agree w/ many folks point on things (not liking some) mainly gaming like this thread is about... I do NOT like that OpenGL 2.x is being "wrapper-ized" translating its API calls into DirectX API analogs apparently.
SLOWS IT DOWN!
(Why? It's a SAFE & PROVEN library set, after all!)
Still, there's stuff in VISTA that looks good both aesthetically (Imo, the AERO GLASS shell looks pretty damn cool, DirectX driven over older GDI stuff) & functionally (security mainly) which will make me @ least want to try it, hands-on, for a few hours @ least.

P.S.=> Anyhow, this is like the 98/98SE vs. NT/2000 period, when Win9x "ruled the roost" in the gaming realm... until the development teams (who do it to make money, and probably enjoy their job (surprise, surprise)) caught up!
Then, they did games for more modern games & here we are today "110%" compatibility w/ Win32 API coded games (not DOS ones) since XP (2000 was "ok" but emulation of older games wasn't as good as XP, close, but not quite) + Server 2003... AND, with new & BETTER games no less (for the most part, @ least techno-wise).
It will happen for VISTA too, & VISTA isn't going to be the last NT-based OS imo... there will be more + CHANGES & PATCHES TO VISTA... even though things like SINGULARITY are in the cooker @ MS! apk
