Hey guys, is it better to install XP over Vista or visa versa? Just curious, as I have read some issues with Vista and want to install one of them on my macbook. Thanks!

Performance-wise, XP runs a bit smoother since it doesn't need as many system resources. For the sake of staying up to date, Vista wouldn't hurt. It really depends what you plan on doing with Windows and if you're going to run it via virtualization or Boot Camp.

I plan on just using it for games, and I will be running it via bootcamp.
