Probably go with Windows Vista Home Premium (basic version doesnt give you much). I've heard of people who got mac os x to work on a pc, but I think was illegal. Linux might be an okay choice, but chances are you'll need a program that only runs on windows. I think Ubuntu is probably the best, and make sure you get 7 so you get the desktop effects. I'm not sure if you should buy xp now, I mean it's already outdated, and vista isnt as bad as you might think with software/driver support (it was pretty bad in the beta though).
Good luck!
