Windows XP is still the operating system of choice for our CPU and motherboard testing. Once we move to Vista testing, that will change, but at the moment driver performance with Vista isn't up to par with XP and there are tests which won't run under Windows Vista at the moment (Sysmark 2004 SE only supports XP, while the next version will support Vista.)
