FX60 and the 8800? Heh, a typical household rig ::)
If the writer of the article would give me a rig like his, I'd use Vista too.

Yes, which is why I won't be changing from XP anytime soon.... But some year I'll have upgraded my hardware enough to do it.

I have been seeing some posts in the MilkShape forums about compatibility with Vista.
No one there reported any OpenGL speed problems, but then MilkShape's not a game, except maybe when running animations.
But people have had trouble activating their key. It is believed that the issue is due to a file protection scheme like the one that protects the XP system files that appears to have been extended to program files in Vista.
If they can't patch an .exe, how would a pirate operate?
If this is true, MS has little hope of roping me into Vista even after they get it stabilized in SP2 or SP3. I don't want a Nanny.

Pirates don't patch exes, they just replace the EXE entirely. Only programmers do things like that.

In fairness, if you wanted to test how well Vista runs games, you would need to use a machine sufficiently powerful that the hardware would not be a limiting factor. Writing that Oblivion doesn't run well on Vista because your hardware isn't up to snuff isn't of much value.
