    Well, in three years they want to release the next OS and that will be 64bit only. I'm starting to hope they won't make that compatible with 32 bit programs so companies are forced to migrate already(I'd dual-boot again of course for older programs).

    Are there any Vista-only games besides Halo 2 and Shadowrun? Neither of those are very interesting to me.

    I did find one, actually. The demo (and presumably the full game) for Geometry Wars for PC is Vista-only, but I wasn't going to buy that either.

    afaik, halo 2 is only vista only out of MS' choice - it doesn't use dx10 so there's no reason to lock it to vista.

    Because of that, you won't see true vista-only (dx10) games for a couple of years.
