Vista Game Performance: 7 Months Later
According to an article at FiringSquad, the performance of video games under Windows Vista is now on par with performance on Windows XP. There only seemed to be slight differences when SLI and CrossFire configurations were tested that favored XP, but they were only a few percentage points. The only issues still out there seem to be graphical corruption issues with CrossFire configurations in certain games, and a lacking of full-featured versions of utilities, such as nTune. It’s really starting to look like Vista is ready for prime time.

I dunno. Fellow that plays WoW with us still sounds like CRAP over ventrillo and while he blames Vista it could be his headset/microphone. I’m still gonna hold off awhile longer.

The real story here is that you posted something on your blog.

If he is using a Sound Blaster card, it could very well be his audio driver that is causing the problem. Most integrated audio solutions have decent Vista drivers since they did a lot of stuff in software to begin with. Then again, it could just be a crappy mike.
I’ll be switching over to Vista when I get my new laptop in a couple of months. Until then, I won’t be able to speak from personal experience.

Come on, I’m not than bad. Even how, I don’t have parakeets and babys to populate my blog with.
