I use Windows 7 with Vista, you shouldn't have any problems installing drivers or games or even software
but if you want to dual boot Vista with 7, make sure to install games on each OS
don't play a game installed on Vista in 7, it could work, but it could also have some errors in it

Sometimes if a game isn't first uninstalled it can have issues and yes if you're putting on a new system you're gmaes will be formatted so you'll have to re install them anyways. You may be able to get way with simply copying and pasting your steam games though.
