Vista has newer graphics API that makes game development easier - but heads up, Vista is junk. If anything, go straight to Windows 7.
Sir William:
Will it work with Win7? I agree, Vista's a resource hog, not good for much of anything. For all our machines that had Vista, we offered the option of a downgrade to XP- most took it.

Vista and Win7 are the same architecture, it'll work with it. My gaming rig is set up with Windows 7, and has been for a few years. No problems. Last I heard, WinXP will not be getting any more DirectX updates, which means it will fade out as a potential gaming machine on any new games. Win7 does fine for gaming on my machine, the latest I've played is Diablo III though.
Sir William:
XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, which means they aren't building anything for it and if yours goes the way of the dodo, you'll need to cruise their online forums for tips and tricks.
My wife's laptop is Win7, my old tower's XP...since my wife uses her Kindle Fire for just about everything including reading, wonder if I could appropriate her laptop for this? :)
Ian:
I pre-ordered on Steam. Since I own a Mount and Blade game I got a % off and it was only like $23 to buy War of the Roses. It grants you early access too. It unlocks on Steam on Oct 2nd I believe. Early access should begin next week then, because that Oct 2 date is the official release date. But for $23 on Steam, it's worth a shot!
