Some may, but certainly not all!
Quote from GameDaily :
Microsoft promised that Windows Vista would usher in a new era for PC gaming as a part of "The WOW Starts Now" marketing campaign. After spending several weeks with a complimentary copy of Microsoft's new operating system (Ultimate version), we say: "WOW, what was Microsoft thinking?"
"Promoted as a renaissance gaming platform, and so far, our experience with Vista falls so far short of a "gaming platform" it's laughable. In its current state Vista requires far too many manual tweaks to get games, hardware and peripherals to function properly. Sure XP was riddled with flaws in the early days, but XP wasn't touted as the savior of PC gaming."
or from same article :
Tweaks weren't required for games like Steam's Half-Life family, The Ship. Others like UT2K4 and Quake 4 seem unaffected, but users simply won't know what games work or require additional modification until they install them, despite Microsoft's Chris Donahue, Games for Windows group manager saying "We've hand-tested over 1,000 individual Windows XP games on Windows Vista to help ensure that everything runs smoothly for end users." Which games were "hand-tested?" Endless gaming sites have acknowledged (including the highly respected ExtremeTech.com) through their own independent testing that games run slower on Vista than they do on XP. All of these factoids combine to show that, at best, playing games on Vista can be a crapshoot.
