You never answered the question on how you actually got your 8800GTX working with Vista RTM. There is a thread on the NVIDIA forums from other MSDN subscribers who don't have 8-series drivers (and some are quite pissed about it), so how do you? Clearly, you are running Aero Glass in the screenshot, so your card is accelerated (my 8800GTX runs Vista (RC2) at 1280x1024 only and Aero Glass doesn't work)... I'm just curious because you seem to be the only person on the net that is able to run Vista RTM and an 8800GTX aside from ChrisRay's mention that he has seen it done before, but that was a glimpse he got directly from NVIDIA because of his involvement with AEG and being a moderator of NV's forums. If you've got some inside track that grants you access to beta drivers that's awesome, but if not, share the wealth man... There are quite a few of us who would like to be able to run our 8800's with Vista.
