Has anyone tried to downgrade one with Vista to XP? I have only messed with Vista a little but I dont like it at all seems you dont have as much control over it. IT specielst I know who use it hate it.
to downgrade a vista computer is really easy. make sure you have your vista os backed up because eventually you will need it. then just put in your xp disc, get it to boot from disc and install xp. it will format the hdd as it does it so vista will be removed.

as much as i personally dont like vista cus it is a mac os rip, alot of it specialists like to bitch because they like to bitch, i have been guilty of this myself.

the inital problems with it where there wehere like NO drivers for modems, printers and so forth, but its been almost a year and its all fine. the small update patchs that have been released have fixed the inital bugs, which are to be expected form any new os.

honestly if you take an hour or so to just get a tutorial guide or book to learn what you need to do, as it is visually alot different than xp. you will be fine and infaact it will be alot more rewarding than xp.

the only trouble is that you need a decent enough graphics card and enough ram, so that it can run smoothly with your programs as it is memory intesnive.

peace
snowblind Reviewed by snowblind on . just got a new computer my old comp has been running so slow that i thought it was time to get a new one, thats one of the reasons i haven't been on this great site very much over the last couple of months, but now i'm back up to speed and wondering why i didn't get a new system earlier, being back on line is now a joy and not a frustrating headbanging swearing at the comp experience.:thumbsup: Rating: 5
