Yep, it is better. It's just not entirely backwards compatible with older operating systems, in case you were wanting to do a duel boot system.
As it stands, DOSBox is your solution for old games. Are you having any trouble with any old games that actually use the DX standard on Vista?
Anyway, yeah Etoven that's the way. I guess I forgot that normally XP has "simple networking" on by default. It's something I used to do rather often, moving files between my XP machine and someone else's 98 machine. I'm used to setting up some unusual protocols, but again, like I said, it all comes down to using the right ones. If it requests it that way, it's more like the protocol is asking for the file and then sending it than a strange other computer doing the talking.
My own hard drives are named after my cats.
Oh, video in and audio in have a great purpose. You can turn all that hard disk space (using the right program) into your own cheap DVR.
By the way, that's not enough of a hint I'm afraid. I only recognized enough of those names to think "Arthur?".

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
