Server 2008 is a good choice for gaming. Non of that Vista bloat crap they shove in (well less of it!).
Ubuntu or any Linux distro is not for wide-spectrum gamers, simply a lot of games don't have native linux programs to use. And despite what people might say about Wine(X) and Cedega, they are somewhat lacking.

Just run both.
Drop the Ubuntu CD in your machine and it walks you through creating a dual boot system.
Vista for games
Ubuntu for everything else. Comes with a full office suite.
Uhm, so you mean that running an OS from a CD is giving a better OS than running things from the HDD?.
Well i would then just use the same OS that are installed to everything then. Things will go much much faster.
You can run it from the CD, but you could dual boot (install both a copy of ubuntu and vista!)

Yeah i know, that's why i edited my reply to that now.
But why have 2x OS'es when you can run games perfectly in Server 2008 and all of the other things pretty good to, instead of having one OS for gaming and then have to reboot into Ubuntu only because Ubuntu is some few % better in something than Server 2008 is?.
No need to tell me.
If someone has a bit of money, they CAN install Server 2008, VMWare and have the server function as a Virtual OS Server. You just install the VMWare OS on your PC, and you can dynamically run/load OS images off the server. This is what our forensics lab is setting up.
