I doubt anyone will be able to do ultimate sliders to the max for some time yet and DX10 Games aren't coming till Q3 I think... I hear gaming with Vista is a pain because there is not much performance driver support and such but I don't have it, so I can't prove it. I'll be getting vista in a few months when I can dig out enough money to buy it, a psu and a new graphics card....

Vista is currently showing a 15% disadvantage to XP. Give it some time and it will get better. Most of the problem is that there is no preformance drivers like Gunny said.
