Vista and Planeshift: Hmm?

I have been using Cb on vista, and have had no problems, apart from it being slower than in XP.

My advice for Windows users: Stay with Windows XP as long as possible, and pressure Mr. Bill to include full support to OpenGL 2.0 in Vista, or you will have two choices: suck it up with an horrible performance when playing any OpenGL or Open-Source Game, or the best one: erase your Windows Vista partition and install a friendly Linux distribution over it(Or perhaps work in dual-boot).

Lets hope that the Microsoft intention of kicking OpenGL away from Windows games to have the full monopoly on such area through DirectX backfires.

Aaaaaaahahahahahahaha! Vista got hacked already!

What do you mean "vista got hacked"?  What part of it specifically?

The only actual vulnerability I've seen demonstrated thus far is a rather humorous one regarding microphones and speech recognition- If you have your microphone on, it will automatically pick up speech, and convert it to commands.  Thus if you have your speakers up loud, and visit a bad website that plays an .mp3 saying "Open my Documents; Delete all; Yes" then its theoretically possible to have all your stuff deleted.  Apart from that theres not much apart from some bugs here and there being worked into "OMG!! Vista is teh haxxed already!! LOLZ!!!11" by the usual suspects.

Xordan: when you say runs fine, what about performance?  Is there any difference between fullscreen and windowed??  I was hearing this stuff constantly about the incompatibility of Vista with openGL, is that actually in Vista at the moment or is that something that will be added later? All last year I was hearing about how openGL games would die on Vista, now I'm all disappointed.

Edit: Just saw fireofsoul's post, I would imagine it would run a bit slower on vista- with more features running in the background, not to mention the shiny new 3d-ness.  But I remember the talk being of it running extremely slowly on vista, is this the case?

Works pretty good for me, slightly slower windowed that fullscreen, but I get a good fps even with settings tweaked to best quality in my drivers and in bronzedoors.

I think if you are going to report compatibility levels with Vista you really ought to mention which version you are running as there seems to be considerable differences between the various home and professional types, moreso that ever before I think and the XPs had quite a few differences, mostly in networking bot elsewhere too.
