How to change to XP from Vista?
Can I just put in the CD, follow the instructions and then download any Windows updates afterwards? I have backed up all data so to restore the laptop to "out of the box" So you may need to download quite a bit of updates. [Someone I know just got Vista and it required 146MB in 26 updates to get it up to date.

Windows Vista back to XP SP2
He said we would need to reformat and reinstall Vista. I had to save my Data still and was able to get a DOS prompt using the "repair reinstall" option on the DVD. I put on that extra HD from earlier and made a careful batch file using "xcopy /S /H /E /Y" At this point I gave up. I told the MS Tech that if I was

It is quite good and when driver support improves it will get better
Holes in my security - advice needed
If it's the latter, you probably need to disable the Floppy Drive in your BIOS - the USB device should make itself known to the system upon Booting. My advice is to leave the Floppy out until the rest is up and running. Now, before reinstalling the drive and driver I recommend to re-boot several times,

I need to further tune the computer along the way. But I feel Vista is not that slow as reported once the RAM is enough.

Vista drivers for my Dell, have been on their website since before I purchased my machine, last Nov. The fact is, Dell chose a crappy fulfillment company to do and idiotic MacDroids are, and it rubs off on Apple. You are trully stupid and clueless. My advice is for you to sell your computer and never use one again.

I'll put my own (legit!) copies of Vista and Office 2007 on it. Cost is a significant consideration. Where do I start?

Vista drivers don't run at Kernal level anymore, they run at User level. so I get audio popping that annoys me and i'm pretty sure it's because some program is effecting my audio drivers.
