I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit, and I got NR2003 running without an issue.
I simply installed it from the CD, applied the official patch, and it worked
right away. I have the current NVidia 64-bit Vista WHQL drivers. Basic
system specs:
Intel 35DP35 motherboard
2GB Crucial DDR2-800 RAM
500GB Western Digital Caviar hard drive
eVGA 8800GT 512MB video card
Logitech Momo Racing Force Feedback steering wheel
FWIW, I have no issues whatsoever with Vista. Every game I have tried works
without issue, including Bioshock, Orange Box, Crysis, Mass Effect,
Assassins Creed, Guild Wars, Lord of the Rings Online, NR2003, F.E.A.R., ...
The only driver issue I have ever encountered with Vista is with a 5-year
old Canon scanner - there is no 64-bit driver available. New scanners work
fine, and most importantly for NR2003, the steering wheel works fine.
The main reason I went with Vista 64-bit when I built this PC is because I
didn't want any memory limitations (32-bit has a 3GB limitation because of
hardware address space). On the plus side, I find Vista much more stable
than XP - I've never had a BSOD, and never had the OS lock up or crash.
Everything about it seems superior to me over XP.

Interesting...simulation drivers. Safe to say it is a lost cause
getting this game to run within Vista?
I originally planned on moving forward with Vista. Once XP is no
longer supported things will eventually change. However yes I use
mostly XP at home however Vista is now used for those tech support
calls coming in from friends, associates,etc. who use proprietary
machines and have issues.
