Thanks for the info however I am not wanting to upgrade to Vista. I do like
XP. The reason I am asking is that I am considering buying a new computer
and most that I see come preloaded with Vista. My question is do I try to
make the best of Vista or DOWNGRADE to XP?

Here's the bottom line. Unless you buy a machine that is literally
out of date, your only choice for getting XP is to pay extra for a
machine with both XP and Vista. If you want, you can try Vista for
awhile and then if you decide it is not worth the hassle, you can
switch back to XP.

I will say that I remember the introduction of XP. There were all the
same complaints about how it ran slow, sucked up memory and was not
fully compatible with existing software. But now it appears to be the
OS of choice with Windows users. I wonder what happened???
