With two of our tests totally unable to run under Windows Vista (Sysmark 2004/SE, 3DMark05), it will take a while before we move to Microsoft's new Operating System. Once we do move to the new OS, it will necessitate a new video card, a new CPU and more and will be a simultaneous move for both the Intel and AMD platform.
