Well, If you have XP Pro now... you can transfer it... whats the problem?
The problem is that I am going to buy a new computer later this year after I move. I want XP on it. I have to buy a copy of XP now because it will not be available at that time.
Why stay with XP? Because I don't want or need all the new bells and whistles on Vista, I have older perfectly good hardware that works with XP, some older professional programs that are not written for Vista and likely won't be. Will they run on Vista? I don't know, but they run fine on XP. Look what Hottie had to go through to try to get his printer working. And the solution offered by some others was to buy a new one. I'm glad you could help him out. But I don't believe in throwing perfectly good peripherals in the trash when they still do exactly what I need.
It's pretty amazing to see the number of professional PC reviewers who are usually all over new software urge caution and a waiting period on the OS.
