    I've seen a really good laptop for its price but it has buisness as its OS. Would it still be able to play games?

    Thanks

    Yes, all versions of Vista are basically the same. The only difference between them is the addition/deletion of non essential programs for example Business lacks the media center and couple of DVD/media applications but gains the ability to join a domain and has remote desktop.

    Yeah no need to worry, Vista Business will run all your games; that is considering you have the proper GPU :D

    Since it doesn't have Windows Media Center you're not going to be able to use the Media Center features but you can still get the Extender and link it that way to share music files
