i run 4870 CrossFire on a machine that dual boots Vista and XP. i can say from experience that the Radeons' better performance in Vista is strictly due to better drivers from ATI. it's not that Vista is better than XP in any way - it's just that ATI's driver team has made Vista their top priority now. even the driver installer for Vista has a whole new design that isn't used on the XP drivers yet.

XP was more "bloated" than 2000 as well, yet I don't see you history-rewriters complaining about that. Don't even get me started on Windows ME...

If you guys want to ignore the fact that in the past the same crap happens with every new OS (waah, it's bulky. waaaah, it crashes. waaaaah, it underperforms) that's fine, but don't drag your dribble into EVERY topic with Vista in the title. Nobody wants to hear it.
can it. so far you're the only one trying to start a Vista vs. XP war.
