To avoid cross-posting, here is my experience with MP on Vista.
It's been running rock-solid for two months now. I had no issues with drivers (all recent hardware, I admit), stability (ran 5 machines on Vista - only reverted back the P4 1800 with 1MB of RAM laptop to XP SP2 because of speed issues - I need it for on-site support).
I'll admit it took me some time to figure out how to get Digital Audio Out with DTS passthrough etc.
I am in general an early adopter and a fanatic power-user. Sometimes to the dispair of my girlfriend. But when everything works perfect like it has for the last few months, she does not complain, quite the contrary !
Next week I'll report after the upgrade of my MP machine to SP1.
