I do video editing from time to time and i like final cut over adobe premiere. However i still prefer using windows apps for other things plus of course some gaming. I am going to buy a new notebook soon and I am undecided whether to buy a Vista notebook then install OSx86 or buy a Macbook Pro then install Vista. Opinions please

There are a lot of reviews out there that basically say, if you want to game - a Mac won't virtualize windows well enough for most games. I have no idea how well OSx86 virtualizes graphics but it would appear that it is a better alternative for you if you use mostly Windows apps.
