my opinion is "STAY AWAY FROM VISTA IT SLOWS DOWN YOUR PC", ive not looked into it too much, but when someone comes to me with a vista machine i xp pro it straight away, amazing how much quicker it is....

also be aware... some manufacturers are no longer supporting XP, Compaq for one, i got XP on a compaq, but failed to find a couple of drivers.


Just my humble opinion
