In my opinion if you're just gaming there's not a real need to migrate to Vista, unless you're really desperate for Vista/DX10-only games (Halo 3, Crysis etc). There aren't really any features of the OS that will make your current games more enjoyable.
All the games you mention should work ok. AVG, ZoneAlarm and CCleaner should all work on Vista if you use their latest versions. There are some hardware issues, but it's mainly with exotic hardware setups and certain peripherals (printers, scanners). If you're using the hardware in your sig, you should be fine. If you install the 64-bit edition, you're more likely to encounter problems, but don't let that scare you off from using that version. The Vista version you point to is ok to use, but since there are several versions of Vista available it depends on what other features you want, or can afford. |
