For those of you that already have Windows Vista and want to run XNA Game Studio Express on it, I have a few steps that you can follow to (hopefully) get a successful installation. I want to be clear on this though: XNA Game Studio Express is not officially supported on Windows Vista. If you follow my steps, you are doing it on your own volition and nobody can officially support you. In addition, don't send me email telling me you followed the steps and it doesn't work, or that it deleted your favorite movies or other visual entertainment, or that it made your bread go moldy, etc.. I do NOT guarantee success, I am merely offering the steps that have worked for me and others.

So who where even has XNA Game Studio Express installed on their computers?

I have it installed, but I'm not planning on upgrading to Vista at the moment.

Same here, I even have Vista Business, but until they have full support, I don't see the need to upgrade

Or Just wait for official support. I see the instructions make you login as an administrator account to install it, you might as well use XP.

xna is just there to push all those little coding languages ms is making(and also to make starters who use it lazier)
