You're probably not going to want to try to run some of the high end graphics games with Vista on a typical current hardware configuration, no, but by the time Vista finally drops, pretty much any computer you build at the time using middle to higher end hardware should not be all that problematic. Think about it, XP doesn't run real well on computers designed with the expectation of running 98. I wouldn't expect a lot of people running out and upgrading their late 2005/early 2006 PCs to Vista as soon as it is released, but people who bought/build their computers back in say 2004 might already be in the market for a new PC by the time Vista is released, and will take this into account when deciding on hardware specs.
But then, if you buy a low end {$400} Dell you aren't going to be satisfied with your performance if you run Vista on it {but would this be a surprise? probably not}.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man.
All I'm sayin' is, if he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall.
