WOO! This game looks like it is really coming together well! 
You said something about a demo?

Well you got to compare Vista and XP performance on equivalent systems, preferably on the same machine with dualboot. Even on the newer "made for Vista" systems, XP still outranks Vista in terms of application and gaming performance. |
the only difference I can tell between XP SP2 and Vista(with aero transperancy, etc... on) is vista takes longer to boot.

But, if you do decide to go(hope not!) I wish you good luck!

well, on my laptop I have XP SP3, and on my desktop I have Vista. My laptop has a Radeon Mobility, and my desktop has a 7900 GS. On my laptop I notice games randomally quitting(sp3?), on my desktop, the only thing I really notice is long boot times(sometmes upwards 5 minutes) but I have a pretty good desktop.

go for an nvidia 7900 gs or gx. It'll be better, I promise.
Edit: That motherboard has an integrated nvidia 6100, not sure if it'll be good for gaming, but it can't suck. Second Opinion?

in this box, I have:
Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHz
2GB DDR2 RAM
nVidia 7900GS 256MB OCed to 600MHz
nVidia nForce 650i motherboard
1.5TB of Disk(ok, ok, I only have enough ports to have 1TB online...)
This computer is perfectly able to handle Vista, everything is compatable, etc...
In this one, I have a Vista/XP Dualboot, but as everyone is saying, there are driver incompatabilities with Vista, and some software incompatabilities with older programs. For what I do, though, I find Vista to be perfectly suited to what I want. I like the eye candy too. ^.^
Also, if you need help assembling the computer, get on IRC. I and some other people can help you assemble it.
And at the Vista long load times, yes, XP on my 1.2GHz 512MB Laptop loads faster than Vista, but programs inside of my Vista PC load faster. It is really just the inital loading time.

I noticed the runtime errors, too. It is something to do with the directions you can go. When you get one of those, send 'l' as the next command to get the description.
