DX9 games may well run faster

I'll keep XP for games. If the day comes when games demand Vista, I might get one copy for my gaming PC. What do you do besides play games? What applications? What difference does that make?

Microsoft Pinball Almost Golden in Vista
You can keep Vista. It is a steaming POS! Its just fine for me. Too bad the vendors are too inept (Or too pig-headed) to do what Microsoft says. Just fine eye-candy for the gullible stupid public.

How many times have you read claims like that in the pre-release info (hype) of an upcoming game?
