VM, it's suggested on other sites that you wait to awhile to do gaming with Vista, until drivers and such are updated. Vista is not as friendly an OS as XP is for gaming. And from what I've read it'll be awhile before a Service Pack is out. If you have another laptop with XP, that might be the best way to run SHIII/GWX for now.

One of the few sims that runs on Vista is FSX, and even that has issues running on some Vista computers. Depending on your graphics card, it will need the newest nVidia and ATI drivers to run with Vista.

The kicker is that M$ is already working on a new OS to replace Vista, supposedly due out sometime around 2009.
