i think xp would be the best os for gaming because it doesnt use as many resources as vista

No ubuntu is junk with games .. all Operating systems other than windows are.

Xp will run games before the release of vista , but most of what is newer ( especally if associated with microsoft) will be made for Vista only ..

Hoping for what? I know for sure that it works for xp. I've even tried the demo on xp and it works. The only thing is, you can't set gfx to very high unless you use the hack.
