What is your advice relating gaming? XP or Vista?

My Pc is a laptop Asus A6VA at 1700mhz with a Ati X700 this week i upgrade from
1 GB RAM (DDR II 533) to 2GB (DDR II 533).

I dont uset it much for work, the only things i do besides gaming is:

- Mail
- internet
- FTP upload
- excel (basic sheets)
- image work in photoshop (basic thinks like resize, contrast etc)

so all this things i can do in any computer xp or vista or linux...

so the fact is gaming, what is the best for my system?

Half Life II for example runs very well in my laptop,
but the game i like the most is flight simulator, now is version X.
I think the game is optimized for vista, but it runs ok in XP, but i cannot push to much
in graphics otherwize the frame rate will go down.

So will i get any improvement in Vista?
Because i really dont know anyone that uses it, everyone here is using XP with SP3.
