I am thinking of installing either XP or Vista on my new iMac (not the ones just recently released, but a 2.8 ghz processor, 4 GB memory, 1 TB hard drive) and I was wondering which would be best for me.
I will be using it primarily for games (in fact, I can't think of anything else that I would need it for), but most of the games I play are fairly old. I'm talking things like Fallout, Baldur's Gate 1 + 2, Planescape, Darklands, etc. Some of the games I might like to play were released before 1997 and may require DOSBox to run them. Some of these games might be difficult to run on XP, so I was worried that they might not run on Vista at all.
I do play newer games like Half-Life 2, Oblivion, and Civilization IV occasionally, but I probably play more old games than I play newer ones. I'm not actually much of a gamer anymore, really.
I may also use VMWare Fusion from time to time. I figure it would be alright if the games are older?
