I run Vista at work - I'm one of the testers. I also run CoH on that machine, in a Window.
When the *same* machine ran XP, I could run at 1280x1024 in a Window at reasonably high settings, and the game would run okay.
When I run it now in Vista, I have to leave it on the 'Performance' level in CoH, and even downgrade the render resolution slightly. I tried shutting off Aero when I was playing, but that actually slowed things down. Go fig.
I wouldn't run Vista on anything but a top-notch dual core processor, and 3GB Ram, 4GB preferred.--
