Tech question - Vista to XP
Me ^ | 1/22/08 | Me

It's become that time again that I need to upgrade my computer. I'm looking at purchasing a Dell Inspiron notebook.

Question is how easy is it to strip Vista off the machine and install XP on to it.

I have the technical know how to do the XP installation and such, and own XP already so that's not an issue.

The easiest solution is to buy your Dell Inspiron with XP already on it. :-)

Just click the image below:

Umm, you DO know you can buy a Dell WITH XP pre-installed, don’t you? Hell, you can get Dells with Linux these days.

Haven’t run across that problem yet on Dells. I’m sure it will start to become a problem in the near future though.

Why do that? Vista is better.
