I have been a user of ATI videocards for graphics and video capture
for a long time. But that was under the operating system XP. Now that
Vista has been released, I am wondering if ATI has released any
videocard compatible (for DirectX 10) and tested by Microsoft for the
new operating system. Has ATI released the drivers for capture and a
Multi-media Center along with the driver for the new videocard?

You do not need a DX10 card for Aero Glass effects in Vista. Aero's minimum requirements are a DX9 card with pixel shader 2.0 and 64Mb dedicated video RAM. The DX10 API s is primarily for gaming in new titles like COD4, Bioshock and Crysis to name a few. And currently, the visual differences between DX9.0c and DX10 are very minimal. The performance hit gaming in DX10 (which by necessity means using Vista) is not minimal. ATI and its manufacturing partners have a number of 3000 series DX10 cards with excellent graphics VIVO ability as well as DX10 good gaming power. But it's quite possible the card you are currently using will work just fine . What are you using?
