Okay. Here's the rundown based on what I've seen so far...
Yes, Vista will come soon, yes you can technically "download it," but that's only through the Anytime Upgrade service built-into Vista. What this does is basically verify through the internet that yes, you can use the version you're upgrading to, and the version of Vista you have will upgrade itself. No actual, physical downloading needed.
Yes, Microsoft is a company. No, H2PC won't sell Vista. Other way around.
There is a drastic difference between Vista and XP. Making a program compatible for both won't be THAT easy mostly because Vista is a completely different OS from the ground up. The base code of Vista was written from the ground up, not based on XP architecture, meaning that simply porting the game for XP won't be too easy.
