The market is slowly moving to Vista. All new computers have Vista since February.
With SP1 (patch from MS, now as beta), Vista will be a faster OS than XP (I tried the SP1 beta, and I can tell you that Vista flies with it) and add to this the new games that will be using DX10 for graphics. I think that in the beginning of next year when SP1 is official, we will see a lot of people wanting to move on from XP to Vista. That's how it works. But at present Vista is not faster than XP.
IL2 will run on both Vista versions (32-bit or 64-bit). Saitek has drivers since May for all their sticks (betas but working fine). Check if you have another manufacturer. Trackir is also working on all Vista versions.
