What this means (from what I've heard) is that now computers are being built to directly deal with the Vista. Apprently Vista and XP deal with the hardware in different ways. Basically the computer will work with XP but it won't work to it's optimum level. Almost similar to "over clocking".
But again, the explanation is mine. But I've seen it on a few computers do it and spoken to some techies I know and they've all said that if you have Vista, just stick with it.
Don’t disable Vista UAC system-wide; disable Vista UAC per application
