Don, prior to Win 7, I used Vista for almost a year. I never had any lag with SPWW2 or MBT (but please remember I'm not having it with Win 7 either).

I did have the lesser scrambled palette issue(smoke would appear blueish with red specks and the in game tool bar would have a blue background) occasionally with Vista. I would just hit the Windows key to minimize the game screen to the task bar, then re-expand the window. It would occur about a half dozen times or so over the course of a battle. Nothing definitive to know why it occurred. It would happen on both the player or AI turns. It could have been something to do with refresh rates (just a hunch).

That "method" of working around it stopped when I upgraded to Win 7. This was where the game opening screen (not the game options screen, it was always fine)would be almost unreadable. Never had any luck with any of the Windows property compatibility tweaks, and I must have tried them all.
