You should also run The Microsoft Compatibilty test of your Computer for Vista. This will tell you if it will work & if not what needs doing.

It is surprising the number of Companies that don't sort out drivers for their equipment for new OS's. Some don't in an effort to make you purchase the latest products, some can't be bothered, some wont do old products cause of the Certify costs from Microsoft (these items may have working drivers but are not certified so come up as a failure), and some just CAN'T!!

I am with Grey Ghost here. A he knows, I work in an Apple Managed Environment and whilst they are not without their problems, there is simply no comparison to a horrible MicroThieve AD environment (previous job).

I am very happy here with my dual processor PPC iMac G5 dual booting with Ubuntu and OSX 10.4.8

I do also own a PC and for home use I think it is fine (if you firewall protect it properly, don't use IE, keep it up to date with drivers and updates and run regular spyware/anti-virus checks). For a PC gamer unfortunately you have no other choice.
