Gaming Laptop: VISTA or XP? AND Does HL2 run on ViSTA?

Alright, I'm buying a laptop real soon, either a Toshiba or a Sager. Anyway which OS should I get for gaming. Windows XP or Windows Vista.

I want the GeForce Go 7950 GTX to be able to work smoothly with Vista.

I'm also wondering if Half Life 2, HL2 Ep1 and HL2 Ep2 would work on Vista. Would Oblivion and all of the other games work?

Basically which OS is better for gaming?

Oh and I read somewhere that some guy installed XP and Vista on his computer and then would just pick which OS to boot up from each time - that sounds like the best idea, but I'm kind of unsure as to how I would do that. Thanks. - Larry

Basically you probably are not going to have a choice now, they are shipping high end laptops with Vista. dayday6

You really can't be putting money into a gaming laptop. Its really not worth it. If your going to have a laptop for like school work and stuff, you should get one that is very power efficent.

If you are going to be playing games, you are better off investing into a real gaming computer.

funny how the people bashing Vista are the ones who apparently don't realize taht the OP probably made his decision 2 years ago...Mediocre_man90
