Steam version has the same Vista problems/bugs as the retail version.

At this point, I would pretty much NOT recommend using Steam for this game. The DL is huge and if the way it was patched is any indication, the Steam patches will lag way behind the "official" patch releases.

Example is that the patch was released around 10 am EST and the Steam version didn't come out until almost 9pm EST. Not to mention the MASSIVE size difference between the patches.

80 MB compared to Steam's 4.something GB patch.

That might not be how it always is, but it's something to keep in mind before you choose how to purchase the game. Do the perks Steam offers outweigh all the negatives for the moment? That's up to each individual.
