Because I don't feel anyone on this list has anything better to do than to answer my silly questions... J
Just took delivery of my first Dell in years (I've been using HP Workstations for about 6 years but wanted to give Dell a try again.) It's one of their gaming systems, actually, but it will do well for my graphics work. 3GHz Core2 Extreme processor overclocked to 3.67GHz, 4GB of RAM, dual 750GB hard drives, dual 1024MB ATI Radeon graphics cards, etc... etc... Sounds nice, right? Also comes with Windows Vista (there was, of course, no other option when ordering.) Great, so I feel like I bought a new Cadillac and the nav system is a Lite-Brite with dysfunctional pegs. So, what I'd like to do, obviously, is go back to XP. But I'm wondering if there is any legal way to do so? I know I can't transfer an XP license from my old system that had XP on it, and I don't think I can buy XP at stores anymore. Does Microsoft still allow you to "downgrade" (as if going from a Lite Brite with dysfunctional pegs to a working Etch-A-Sketch is a downgrade) from Vista to XP if you call them?
