    It does look good, but is Vista DX10 only - a problem for some.

    I should be ordering a new GPU soon so look forward to running it!

    its only a matter of time before some apps and games leverage the functionality thats only available in vista, forcing the user to use it.

    Given that you need a rather cutting edge spec, i'd imagine most people with that hardware will be running vista 64 anyway.
