The driver support, software, and overall ease of use just wasn't there for me. But it is no doubt the best OS for a lot of people. <BR/><BR/>Dell offers business customers the option to purchase "downgrade rights" to go from Vista to XP (they sell you the media and licenses for both), which would be a fantastic option.<BR/><BR/>I just rebuilt my machines with XP Pro (install with Service Pack 3 slipstreamed and customized using <A HREF="http://www.nliteos.com/" REL="nofollow">nLite</A> ) There's something to be said for rebuilding your machine every year or so. It's running so nice, now.Brian Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967275817126310908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13998656.post-68352577743093095992008-05-28T11:12:00.000-06:002008-05-28T11:12:00.000-06:00I just bought a new pc from Dell.

Also I figured that getting an over-powered XP machine is better than getting an underpowered Vista machine. I have also toyed with the idea of jumping to Ubuntu or Fedora, but I haven't done it yet.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330905259391716760noreply@blogger.com
