    Just considering that there is no DirectX10 Support for XP, you should go for Vista.

    It depends on your Hardware which is better for gamming.
    If you have a good Pc i would suggest you to use Vista cause of Directx 10.
    That rings the bells of your video card :D.
    But there is also another solution.If you have a slow pc you can download Directx 10 for Xp.
    For me i personally use Vista cause it has many new features :) .
    The difference of x9 to x10 is that you have a way better graphics.

    Got any other questions feel free to ask or contact me :).

    Vista is a horrible operating system for gaming. You can't really get legitimate answers by idiot posts like these two above me ^. The Windows XP operating system has more room and allows you to actually play games, unlike Vista where most of your processor is eaten away by Vista itself. There's also the task of administrative issues when running a game.

    Yugo,
    :)
