Just wondering, which one would win?

An 8600GT running DX9 on Windows XP
Or, an 8600Gt running DX10 on Vista.

Both running FSX.

I havnt got around to trying yet

you haven't tried it maybe because FSX doesn't use DX10 yet? In any event, Vista itself is going to suck some performance out of any application due to its higher resource use.
but from what I understand, FSX post SP2 is faster under DX10 than under DX9 before adding the fancy DX10 effects.
