Games are memory maxed anyway (~2-3gb of Ram) and if you have a half-decent computer you have at least 4gigs of ram. If you got a half-decent computer, the OS doesn't affect anything, basically.I disagree with this sentiment. If an OS works for you and runs all the programs that you need it to run, then you should stick with it. This is kind of like telling a hardcore Debian user to "upgrade" to Ubuntu.
Upgrading for the sake of upgrading is a mistake that many people make because they feel obliged to do so. XP is much lighter than Windows 7 or Vista so for gamers this is a very big plus. Games need as much CPU time and as much memory as you can spare so it's not good to have the OS hogging everything.
