Dom, you, me and 99.7593% of the population are not neurotic 'creative' enough to own a mac (other than the one flashers get caught in) so don't worry about it, just keep running the virus scans and windoze update and all your 'free' software will be fine

But remembered what was in your door pocket

Why not upgrade ? I thought Vista was a good thing for you Windows types
Vista is officially sh****t - XP is plenty good enough, and solid (after nearly 8 years FFS ) - may be Windows 7 might be worth looking at...Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Maybe Maybe not
Although early indications appear to be in the positive, but hey - its Microsoft, it will be fine

Not sure you'll run games on a VM (I've not tried) but rebooting with boot camp with XP or whatever will be quick enough. Mine is running with both systems all the time so I can have a foot in both camps. I prefer the mac side, but work says I have to have a PC. Without starting the usual debate Stu; have a look at one - if you visit a store they actually know what they are talking about and you can go to free training sessions for all the film/photo apps. Even in the 15 months I have had one more and more stuff runs on the mac.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
