And they will be slower and less optimised, much like Vista.

Vista is pretty damn fast... Noticeably faster then XP. The current ATi drivers out dont even work. I installed them on a 9800xt and it errors.

Great, I look forward to seeing some benchmark comparisons of apps/games running on Vista compared with XP.

its because of the way windows deals with drivers. (you know bsod - even though they've hidden them now) that means the puter crashes. but vista deals with drivers in a different way. (you dont have to reboot after driver installs) which also means that the driver wont crash windows. if things goes like they should :P

"Despite higher requirements of processing power, ATI does not expect Vista to cause any performance drawbacks when compared to the current OS generation. Right now, the Beta 1 driver runs at about 80% of Windows XP speed. With Beta 2, the engineers hope to attain 90%, with the final version expected to achieve 100% or higher. " Sounds about what one would expect but too far away to either complain or applaud.
