All that would happen is Sauron would take time to reform, and then have a new, powerful servant in the form of Vader. The Ring is designed to corrupt. Someone of Vader's fortitude would be able to resist, it is true, except there's potential for thousands of years of its lies to whisper to Vader, to seduce him, to bring him to Sauron. Vader might, for many years, reign independent with the Ring.. Except in the end, the Ring is not Vader's. The Ring is Sauron. It would either succeed in conquering over Vader, or it would desert him in his time of need, like it did to Smeagol and Isildur. Vader, who had become increasingly reliant on this new boon, would suffer greatly if it left him while he was facing a powerful foe.. Yes, I agree that that seems the most likely outcome. However, it is difficult to say definitively what might or might not happen if Vader tried to control the Ring, as we have no precedent whatsoever for how the Force interacts with a Maia's power.
