Vista 64 bit runs great for me in games and regular usage...all my devices work fine and have had no driver issues (except for the issue concerning the beta driver that seems to be resolved now)...there are a lot of nice tweaks I use which I found online...I'll write up a post soon detailing my Vista tweaks/experience...I'm too lazy to write everything up now
