The whole Vista situation has many facets one can look at it from...on one end, it could signal a new era of insanely powerful machines because manufacturers of both computers and hardware are quite closely tied in with Microsoft. So that is obviously resulting in DX 10 based mammothly powerful graphics cards coming out from both ATI and Nvidia with the only difference bein the way they implement shaders...unified vs non-unified. Also there is upgraded minimum requirement for the OS and the recommended requirements for the OS. It is a bit higher than I would like for example...but that could be signalling an OS that could better handle quad cpu setups and so on. I guess there is a good side and bad side to this whole Vista thing.
