And it is not all about writing a "GOOD" driver anymore.

Guess they'll have to re-run their benchmarks all over considering that ATI released Cat 7.1s for Vista today. Pays to actually wait till the launch date to do a review like this, especially when it now has OpenGL support! |

Piss on Vista. I hesitated about moving to XP from W2K. XP will be my last MS OS. By the time I need to move from XP Linux will be perfected and very real alternative, or Mac. Later Microsoft - your bloated and clunky DRM lovin, activation happy spyin ass OS has tested my patience for long enough. |

Yes, but even if the benchmarks are better than what you have under XP, it still does not remove the fact that they will not be as fast as they could be. MS could continue to tweak various DirectX DLL calls and other procedures to make them more efficient. This does not, however, remove some of the fundamental issues with locking out the core from 3rd party developers. This is something the EU trade commission is already investigating and hopefully will force MS to revert this model. |

And this is not to say that I will not use Vista.

wow... everyone and there dog has an excuse for Vista even though they don't know anything about how it works. Seriously people, if you don't know what you're talking about don't post statements, ask questions, or don't post at all.

Vista is a dead stick currently due to XP kills it in games and even other programs are questionable performance. That isnt the worst part because who in right mind would buy a 32bit version of any OS knowing its going to be worthless after a year tops. The only options left is a 64bit vista $300 option which is over priced by any standard. I guess ill be sticking to XP for atleast a year so Microsoft has time to workout all the bugs and move the 64bit version into the mainstream. |

The EXTENSIVE DRM inside Vista is the cause of much of the performance decrease. I am surprised that anything shows a performance improvement.
