I just got a Vista computer, and I must say that I love it.

I bought an off the shelf HP. Added a gig of RAM and the second best graphics card Best Buy had.

I just love the way it feels, and the new security features (if they actually help). All in all it is a fine operating system. Just don't expect all Windows XP progs to work with it. On the up side, they usually put out patches for the progs to make them compatible.

I've been playing games on it for a while now, and I havn't had any problems. Most games have patches that make them DirectX 10 Compatible.

I tried Vista for about a week and I hated it so I reformatted my HDD and installed Windows. Not a single program would work unless I wanted to spend hours editing program files for it to work.
