You're the 3D developer of record here - thanks for the clarification. It's good to know that your work on MA3 is not going to be negatively impacted by Vista!
One has to wonder why there is so much discussion about Vista breaking programs that worked fine under XP. Is it the amplifier effect of the Internet? I do know from my own testing that Video LAN Client (VLC) had some major issues with Vista. Yet iTunes worked fine.
