Edit* and why do people say it will run better on Vista, Vista runs the computer, NOT the applications...
Not to sound rude or anything of the sort, but please try to realize what you're discussing before debating it. I mean, really. It's a VERY basic question you're asking.
You basically rebuffed your own question there. Vista runs the computer, not the applications. The game doesn't run the processor directly, the game doesn't convert keyboard signals into actions the game utilizes, the game doesn't turn on the cooling fans when necessary and shuts them down, right? Same with resources such as DX10. The game doesn't directly control DX10. Processors, especially the newer ones, require the computer to more efficiently manage resources and tasks, therefore, a new OS helps the computer run more efficiently. Which is why you can't say you can run the game just as well on an older OS (or god forbid, NO OS) than a newer one.
