My problem is that I have a computer running XP that can run nearly anything right now, but if I want to even upgrade to Vista I have to get a brand new video card since Microsoft did not take the time to work with the Video card and provide working driver technology like they did with XP.

I now have a 6800GT and it will apparently NEVER work in Vista. Whose fault is this? NVidia? Microsoft? I don't really know and don't really care. All I know is that instead of dishing out the $300 for a new OS, I'm going to have to dish out hundreds more for a new motherboard, new processor, and new video card as well.

If Vista worked with existing systems there wouldn't be a problem. But it frequently doesn't from my personal experience.
