Simple questions, simple answers:
The value of DX10 is questionable. Vista sucks. Future improvement of these two issues remains to be seen - I don't hold my breath. Ask subman, he pointed to some comparisons that illustrated that.
Conclusion: stay with XP. That's what I would do if needing to buy a new system now or in the next 12 months.
MS currently advertises that it expects a huge jump in XP-people turning towards Vista this X-mas. they made many questionable statements abiut sales in the past year as well. Don't believe everything they say. They do not wish to give objective information. They do wish to push up their sales. Most of Vista sales are suspected to be OEM versions being preinstalled on ready-systems.

Knowing a salesman in a huge elctronics warehouse in my city, I can tell you what he keeps telling me since all this year: Vista lies like lead in their shelves. It is the second-biggest electronic warehouse chain we have over here.
