A question that should have gone around people's head already (it has for me and my team for a while) is how different the application performance between WPF-based applications running under Windows XP / 2K3 from those running in Windows Vista, is.
So for those such a people (me) Tim Sneath just posted a brief on this and given the fact that there is no data support from benchmarked tests, it at least gives a some-how-clear explanation on what to expect from the point of view of what Vista implements that is missing from Windows XP; even though it is the same code base for both OS's, Vista features a set of support enhancements to some of that technology (i.e. vector based rendering vs bitmap rendering across accessibility and remoting tools and of course the DWM and WDDM-class display drivers for a smooth experience in 2D and 3D) .
So go for it and give it a try, at least it will guide your test a bit more than going with no information at all...
