If your specs are good enough, Vista is not a detriment to your performance. If you're getting poor framerate, get more RAM / better Processor / updated Video Card /etc. But running a Vista game on XP is totally frowned upon by Microsoft, and if enough people do it, I'm sure they'll make a safeguard that will put an end to the patching... and then there will undoubtedly be another workaround, and then eventually one side will give up. But if on the front of the game it says 'Requires Windows Vista (TM)', then it runs on Vista... not XP.
