Will I be able to play XP games with Vista?

Viesta has a built in Direct X 9 driver as well as a seperate Direct X 10 driver, so Direct X 9 games will be able to run.
 
I've had a couple of games not install, I get the message "This game has only been tested on Windows XP, setup will now exit" so there may be some that won't run.

This is with RC1 so maybe it will be fixed in the final release.

Generally speaking you would have to hope that eventually Vista will be fully backwards compatible.

it's published by microsoft... but I'm pretty sure most (if not all) other publishers will be adding dx9 support. Microsoft just wants everyone to buy Vista.
