Being a QW player on a new Operating system can sometimes be annoying
Here is what problems I've come across so far and have i solved some
*Mouse polling rate
managed to set 1000hz by following the steps in this thread:

and http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?p=167571
(Applying that fix with the listed updates installed caused all USB-devices to stop working in both failsafe and normal windows. Which is tricky to rollback if you have no ps2 keyboard available)
*Mouse Accel
With Microsoft mouse and no driver installed, i got the tip to uncheck the 'improved mouse precision' box in mouse settings. Things got better, but there definitely was some acceleration left.
With logitech mouse and Logitech set point drivers and acceleration set to 'none' in settings things are a bit better, but still not as good as in XP (with accel fix)
update: using -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspeed in the cmdline fixed the problem. Atleast for the logitech mouse.
*Open GL driver
After installation of vista, I had to download latest drivers from www.nvidia.com to make it run.
*Microphone (ventrilo)
Windows Sound recorder works but with Ventrilo, voice activation would either enable send all the time, or not at all. Propably just me being lost in the settings.
*Performance
The game runs very smooth and I have not experienced any FPS drops.
