I tested it out on RC2 before, ran just fine. I suggest you turn your UAC off during install tho.

Didn't play it to much on Vista RC2, but it seemed normal play. Not sure about the effect on resources tho.

Yeah dude i am on Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Its good - it runs ok (basically the same as it did on my desktop with XP).
I have only found one bug which happens with it, but it might be unique to my laptop.
I play GTA in a resolution of 640x480 (fullscreen) for performance reasons. When i put my laptop to sleep after playing and closing GTA, when i wake my computer up, the screen resolution has changed to 1024x768!
This is strange and a little annoying, but im 90% sure it is because of the game, and not vista. Probably coz im playing a hacked version or something.
