Why has EVE to run with a piece of early beta software?
Btw, one of the next upgrades will bring a new client, so ... I suggest you test again when the new client is avialable. Vista is a new OS, not just an upgrade.
Did you miss the message that Vista is will be delayed at least until '07?
It isn't perfect yet, so no go.
80% of the existing computer hardware will not run under Vista due to the completely new driver system, so I think it is really pointless for most computer users.
Current base RAM usage I have seen is somewhere between 600MB and way over 1Gig.
That's without any programs running. Unless you count implemented spyware and so called copy and rights protection functionality additional software.

Vista has not a single feature above what Win2k offered when you ignore the preemptive handcuffing of the user.
The fact that MS need another round of OS+unimproved software bundle sales coupled with another round of Intel hardware sales is not a reason why I would buy a completely new system or even upgrade my current computer.
Vista uses much more resources for the same job. Thank you, but I am not impressed.
EVE doesn't use DX9 to any extend yet.

Vista causes a little colateral damage to most existing modem/print/scan/fax/voicemail/telephony/tv/surveillance/... solutions.
But the MS propaganda machinery is already hitting the war drums to silence those pointing at these minor problems.

I don't care for kernel benchmarks I didn't setup by myself.
I tested Vista on a few systems, and it only feels faster while actually being slower.
It only feels faster as long as you're doing the standard stuff where the preemptive loading of programs and functions tries to kill the harddrives in the background.
Set up a Vista box close to the minimal requirements and jump from program to program - and do the same on the same box running Win2k or WinXP.
Adding aditional layers between the software and hardware makes programs run faster according to MS propagandists. Yes, I believe in MS.
Oh, and why should I pay 500$ for getting a certificate for a selfmade driver for a selfmade experimental device (ie. for a model train installation) for my own personal use? If I wanted a box I can't do nothing with, I'd buy me an XBox.

Load your MS Office after removing all the preloading parts and it isn't faster than OpenOffice.
Vista is slowing down the program start of software more than any other system unless it is preloaded. It eats into program performance so badly it is not funny. Vista removes all speed improvements of the currently available hardware compared to the stuff from a few years ago.
For comparing the speed of different systems, you should compare the stuff on the same or similar hardware. Comparing a Win2k system on a 1998 computer to a theoretical Vista system on a computer we might see in 2009 just doesn't help. Do both installations on a todays standard computer. If it is a problem with the included drivers, MS has a few years of development ahead jsut to get it running at the same speed.
What is the reason to write a driver if I have to set the OS to boot in Dev mode to use it? Someone might have shot past the target with the security system in some areas until the signing of the certificates generates some extra income for him and his friends. Works hand in hand with the '100% new drivers needed' approach and the massive patenting of trivial software parts MS is doing these days.
