Vista is Bad. Very Very Bad. Silverlight? EVIL! Internet (legal) Piracy! Couldn't download vs2008 express today unless I installed Silverlight! Glad I had a back up! STAY BACK!
Seriously - I hear alot of various "issues" arise whenever Vista is brought up for this game stuff. I hear less bad, and even some good with runniong applications on Vista - but I hear mostly complaints - just look around - I'm not making it up - shader issues, video card issues - I guess the same things happen to XP but - seemingly much less frequently.
Plus, on a previous version of the DarkGDK lib I released - I did a gotomeeting with a vista user - it was blowing up allocating a simple memblock according to the debugger. Though one person I talked to said memblocks work fine - but I saw it not work. Makes me wonder about vista and the VARIOUS LEVELS of it - seems like if I needed to use vista, I wouldn't settle for less than ULTIMATE - nothing worse that not having a stupid feature when you REALLY need it.
