Computing, almost certainly. Gaming, uh, well, no, unless you like console games and damaged versions of PC games that are a few years old. If you don't mind accepting that, then sure, it will meet all your needs.

Bear in mind that I don't need anything close to a Doom (or modern equivalent) gaming set up. I hate FPS.

Even then.

If all you ever play is The Sims, Starcraft, and World Of Warcraft, a mac is plenty good enough for gaming.

Damaged versions of PC games? I suppose, from a certain perspective?

Really, if it's not WoW or some other Blizzard title, you're better off just keeping a 20-30 GB Boot Camp partition on your machine and using that for games.

What's damaged about booting Windows via Boot Camp to fill my non-console gaming needs? Nothing, says I.

And "it requires dealing with Vista, once you reach the point where XP no longer supports the games, which was the critical part of the question", says I.

The question was about using a mac to avoid ever "upgrading" to Vista.
