Think your missing my point a little.
What i was trying to say is thats its wrong of the big boys to sell pcs that are not up to standards to run Vista, for example, low end and buget pc's.
As far as i can see Vista supports loads of hardware, i cant really see to many issues there, yes, nvidia support vista for all there products from the last few years.
As for FSX, i said "MORE" On average FSX is delivering 4FPS more on Vista than XP is.
I totally support MS, i am no linux fan more than an MS fan, they both have there goods and bads, at the end of the day, currently you cant beat MS so you just have to join them. Windows is great, but so is Linux, they just have there own strenghs and weaknesses.
Hardware vendors are always going to make there new drivers for newer products and then work backwards. MS give them Release candidate and beta versions of Windows but they only get around 180 days with the real thing to release fully functional drivers for new windows versions, so its obvious there will be a delay.
But as i tried to say, Vista should only be put on systems that can run it better than xp,
Check out the NVIDA website, they recommend dedicated graphics of at least 128 and A gig of ram to run vista well,
