[QUOTE="Discerptor, post: 629467, member: 12177"] The obvious choice is Windows XP if you want most of your Windows software to actually work. Even if you game a lot, DirectX10 really hasn't been taken advantage of at all yet, and I don't expect it to be for a while. Even Crysis, the flagship title for DirectX10's superiority over DirectX9, can be altered to have the "Very High" settings work on Windows XP, more efficiently than in Windows Vista (not that your computer will be capable of running it at max settings anyway; there doesn't exist a video card powerful enough to do Crysis at max settings yet... it uses resources rather inefficiently in general).
