Vista sucks and you will be completely disappointed in everyway if you buy it. And no, I've heard it doesn't work.

Yep Vista blows. It will run Oblivion however, but be prepared for horrid sound effects and choppy performance.

I disagree. I have Oblivion with Francesco's, Mart's Monster Mod, and some other addons and the game runs the same as I was on XP (I have both OS installed in the machine).

It runs just fine on Vista as for the 360 remote I haven't tried that one either. Ignore the Vista haters they very obviously don't have the slightest clue what they are going on about.

I had 0 problems with Oblivion on Vista (aside from the fact I think the game sucks and its overrated), and no massive problems with the OS. :|

Oblivion works just fine on Vista. If you're having issues, chances are something is wrong with your system either on a driver or a hardware level. Don't just reinstall the game, completely update all your drivers. Also, if you're trying to play the game on an integrated video card in Vista, that might be a problem.

Oh, and the obligatory 'pics or it didn't happen' comment :P
