I've been using vista for a couple of weeks now and I have had no problems so for except for playing any video files in a variety of programs. The sound goes of out sync with the video and when in sync the sound is still glitchy its a bit crackly. I never had any issues with this in XP. Also I get an error with "COM Surrogate" wanting to close down (This program has cause an error in windows and needs to shutdown) whenever I play a Divx file.
I use a Nvidia MX 4000 128mb video card an old one but should be fine to play low res divx files.
