Vista Offers Nothing to Gamers

| This is just a small sampling of games obviously, but for our

| games on Vista, and the end result was just slightly more hassle
| than you would with XP.

| As mentioned in the earlier Orcas March CTP Available from MSDN post,
| lack of Vista support for the self-extracting install is surprising

| Orcas is to build the best tool set for Windows Vista ... For the
| first time, we have a WPF designer in the product, enabling a
| more complete WPF development experience."
