It's BETA ...
A lot of things still dont work with it yet.
Only certain programs/games/softwares work with it at the moment.

Most games (especially older ones) werent designed for Vista, and therefore wont work. The same happens with almost every new OS that comes out. That link computerhakk posted should help you out by determining what software will work with Vista.

I've heard that far cry will work on it. I read about it on a site (which one it is escapes me right now) where they had far cry running but they said it requires a lot more memory than the recommended specs specify
