Partition your drive and you can put XP on it as well, my lads done that with his PC. Don't ask me how though as i've no idea how to do it!! Or try using Firefox browser, its a whole lot better and faster than IE (Internet Explorer)

I'm having my new PC today and that's what our computer consultant is doing Roses (the partitioning bit). Good luck and nice to see you again!

My wife has a lap top. It has the dreaded Vista. I hate it. One day they may get it sorted but when? She mainly uses it for games, but even games that are vista compatible dont work properly on it.

I don't use Vista. I don't care for Microsoft products much. My dad has Windows XP home which I have to use. However I like Mac OS/linux.  My system isn't good enough to upgrade to vista anyways.

 @Roses - you can reformat to Windows XP if you wish. Or get a seperate partition installed with Windows XP.
