Danyel Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Dear nihnightmare: Whether you choose XP or Vista is up to you. Since I play older games, I prefer using Windows XP for gaming (better performance on my PC). Windows uses a different File Systems (NTFS, FAT32, etc) than Mac OS X (Mac OS Extended, etc). On Mac OS X, you will be able to see Windows Partitions. But on Windows, you will not be able to see any Mac Partitions unless you have some third-party software installed. So it is not likely to get virus from Windows onto your Mac. --danyel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowerr Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 If you have a newer Mac, Id say Vista it will be nice and current like OS X 10.4. If you only care about performance though, go for XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
