Answer 1

You might have trouble finding drivers for Windows XP, especially since that isn't a computer for which XP upgrade rights exist (since it probably doesn't come with Vista Business).

Linux would be a much cheaper option that buying a new computer from Apple, Ubuntu is pretty easy to use and should work with your hardware pretty well.

Answer 2

If you just bought your Dell then on your Software backup CD should have a  Free copy of XP Pro on it...  One of the many perks of Microsoft.

Windows is alot easier to use.. over 89% of people on this earth have it.

Answer 3

There really is no best computer, however the one that is better for you  is the one that does what you want and that you like to work with

I have both macs and PCs, each are great for some things and terrible at others.

Consider workflow, what software you need to be able to run and how much you want to spend and then make an informed decision based on your needs.
