Q: Is there better to using Windows Vista than using Windows XP as the game's operating system? What are the benefits?
A: While I'm sure there is a more technical answer to this, I will say that unless you have the combination of a DX10 video card and Vista, there would be no apparent benefit to switching from XP. Basically, the major benefit of Vista is that it will be DX10 enabled. Hellgate: London will also support DX10 (a version with better graphics). So, if you have Vista and a DX10 video card, you'll get a better looking game. The leap should be considerable, from what I've heard. Mind you I haven't actually seen it our DX10 game yet, so I can't promise it will be that drastic, but everyone says it's going to be awesome. In any event, without a DX10 video card, Vista is still supposed to provide a performance increase, but that is also unverified. So it comes down the graphics and that all depends on your video card.
