I just got a laptop with Vista. I find the Vista user interface a pain in the patoot, and I can’t find drivers for some of my old hardware items I want to run with it. I’m considering wiping Vista and installing XP Pro instead.
heh--I find that with most MS operating systems. Windows just doesn't work the way I work. That's why I use Linux. I can customize it to work the way I work--I don't have to change to fit the operating system.
Do some serious research before you do that -- I too have a new laptop with Visduh. I own a copy of XP with COA from a previous laptop that died, and I was thinking about reformatting and putting XP on my new Visduh-infected laptop.
However, two different people have told me that there is something coded into the chipset on Visduh machines so that XP won't work on them, and that you won't be able to get drivers that work for the various components of the computer. However, I don't know if that is accurate or not.
