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?

 

Thanks,

 

Evan
