"Within the next few weeks, Microsoft will be releasing beta 2 of Windows Vista. The actual ship date of Vista hasn't been announced, but Microsoft's new OS is likely to ship sometime this Fall. Since Windows Vista was announced, some of the bleeding-edge features have been scaled back. For example, WinFS, a file system built using relational database concepts, won't be included in the final release. But it's likely that the Windows Vista's feature list is now stable enough that we can predict what kind of system you'll need to build today to accommodate the new OS."

-------------For OSX, you had to get a new computer if you wanted decent performance------------
For Vista, same thing. Time for you to buy a new computer. It seems to me that the upcoming windows OS needs more processing power than Doom 3.
-----------Also, what is 'work right'?----------
Not everybody lives in Microsoft's(or Apple's) world of replacement computers every year or so. They could at least make their software a *little* bit more efficient.
Like I said(and I was honest about forgetting where I'd read it) but having 3d desktops was *supposed* to involve the GPU more. Having the GPU to offload to should make Vista less CPU intensive than XP is.
So yes, I stand by my "work right" comment. How much you wanna bet Apple gets their offload-to-the-GPU working correctly? I know the Linux projects will.
