Windows Vista will grace our reviewing queue once applications and games take advantage of the new features DirectX 10 and the new OS offer. For now, Windows Vista is only used as part of the evaluation process and not used during testing, as Sysmark hasn't been updated to run the test in Vista as of yet (it will happen with Sysmark 2007), and 3Dmark05 is incompatible with the new OS.
