No, they will run worse at the beginning, but once proper drivers are released and everything is patched up, games and apps should run quicker. Might be waiting a while for that though.

I just bought a laptop with a Geforce 7950GTX so I'm hoping DX10 games don't become mainstream until at least 2008 as I can't upgrade this

i seriously seriously doubt it. games that were both XP & 98 compliant always ran better on 98. not that 98 was a better OS, but it just took a lot less juice to run.

hmmm, seems i might be a bit off. theres a comparison between xp & vista with dx9 on gamespot. seems theyre reasonably similar in terms of performance.

Give it some time and things should be better. It's not really fair to compare a new OS so soon after it's release to one that's been out for 5 years
