i've had Vista installed for a week now and have tested many programs and have used the OS for everything as it is my primary OS. mind u i still have WinXP SP2 (dual boot) still installed for my games. i have yet to try any games out on Vista.
i know that games do play, but just not as well as in XP. EVERYONE has the same issues. so, until i play games on vista this thread is primarily for appz. unless others, including myself, have tested games on it and can verify the differences between the two (WinXP & Vista) OS's.
(some of these are obvious)
