Unplayably slow on Vista?

Well, having written some of that "thoroughly untested" code myself, I feel rather obligated to use it. And even if I didn't feel obligated, I would anyway, because I'm proud of it.

I usually give microsoft a few years to iron out the wrinkles before I try their new software.

As I understand it, Vista has many improved "hooks" for programmers to use in integrating to the OS. But, until there are lots of cool new tools (which might very likely NOT work for previous windows) then Vista might be lots of cool features that no one is ready to use yet.

But truthfully I havent bothered reading enough on Vista yet to decide what underdog position I will take in the discussions.

Is Dom 3 even supported on Vista?

The reasonable position should be to support it of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.

My experience with windows has been the same: stay behind one version and you can be somewhat sure that it's fine. Don't use the versions that don't undergo a major overhaul. That means, for me, I used: Win95 (but only as long as I had to), Win98, Win2k, WinXP. I won't touch Vista until they release their first service pack and I'll still have to determine if I'd want to use it at all.
