I recently put a fresh install of Vista Ultimate on my machine. While it has a pretty big footprint of its own (700 MB ram with just vista running) I haven't had a single performance issue arise. With the latest drivers I still run 40 fps+ most of the time. The only two issues I have with it, is that VS.NET 2003 isn't supported (they didn't want to update the compiler for the platform or some such thing), and divx player (stage6) doesn't play nice with Aero. As far as WoW is concerned I haven't had a single hiccup.
System Specs:
Intel 965WG Motherboard (yes I know I should upgrade)
Core 2 Duo E6300
2MG PC6400 RAM
GeForce 7950GT
SATA2 Seagate drive
I'm just curious if the people that are so anti-vista in this thread have actually run a system with vista on it. Of course doing an upgrade instead of a clean install runs more risks. Just backup data (not programs etc), and a clean install of vista, drivers, and applications and you'll be running well if your machine can handle the version of vista you're installing.
As for the issue of it always asking for permissions, in the window that pops up it tells you how to disable all those popups.
I don't really play PC games besides WoW (more of a console gamer really - so sue me), so I don't know much about compatibility for say WC3 and the like.
