Windowed mode casual games do not generally require exclusive access to all your system's resources, which fullscreen games generally do.
Blitz will undoubtedly suffer in this respect, unless M$ manage to not have to dump Aeroglass if a DX7 app is running in a window. Time will tell.
However, windowed games are generally expected to multitask well, which is not exactly a common aspect with many people's Blitz coding practices. So, you really have to consider if this is going to affect us poor Blitz users too much.
BlitzMax will perhaps reach a better level of stability and maturity by the time we all would very much like to begin using Vista. I am fairly confident that Mark S is an intelligent chap and will therefore already be working towards a "BlitzMax loves Vista" state of affairs.
