Gaming is also very good, if there is any difference I certainly haven't noticed it and in the case of some older games Vista runs them better than XP, even with the dual-core hotfix installed.

One thing that was a major pizzor for me is the same thing as you, the Lexmark drivers. I don't blame Vista for that though, I blame Lexmark's lazy asses who didn't want to create a Vista compatible driver for my printer.
Luckily my father was able to get a new printer so he gave me his old HP printer/scanner so all is not lost.
Generally my experience with Vista has been quite pleasant so far besides a few minor annoyances.
UAC is a small annoyance, but it's not so annoying that it leads me to disabling it.
For some emulators/games to work properly I had to give permissions for Vista to write to the emulators/games folder in the C:\Program Files directory.
Right now I'm only using the 32-bit Vista, I plan on picking up the 64-bit version soon when I get some more money.
Right now I currently dual boot XP64 and Vista 32-bit, only reason I have XP64 right now is to test games via Dolphin 64 Beta 3.
However once I'm able to purchase Vista64 I'll be ditching XP altogether.
