I have my beasty machine installed with Vista for the sole reason of games. Otherwise, I'd be on Linux. But there's a certain sense of irony that the easiest way for me to program computer games is in Linux. Made stronger by the fact that I bought a laptop yesterday and it'll be easier to develop games on that than my beasty machine.

(In before: Wine, VMs and definitions of irony)

So I bought my beasty computer. So far, it's been pretty good. Games work absolutely fantastically on it. Crysis, the current benchmark of PC-killingness, requires a 3.0 rating to run on Vista, and 5.0 to run at recommended specs. My computer is a 5.6. I run it at the "Very High" level of settings and it looks beautiful.
