2k/XP/Vista are based on NT actually. The reason the security features
were removed, if you are speaking of the ones I believe you are, which are
still available in vista 64bit is because they would have broken most
applications.

Well, there are some caveats on this. Not all
How can Vista be any good if it takes more hardware to run that XP?
That's a good question, but it's always been that way. Every generation
of OS adds capabilities that leverage hardware. If I want DX-10, I will
have to go to Vista at some point. Not right now, but probably within a
year.

I would agree, except in the area of security. Vista is nice to look at,
but it's iterative over XP.
Still, if you get it with a new PC, why jump through expensive or
time-consuming hoops to *not* run it?

Ever the silly jingoist, eh? MS is supporting XP at the consumer level for
10 years after release, until 2011.

But, if you ever have any questions,
"You know that eventually they will make it impossible for you to
stay with OS 9."
1. Mac had a change of microprocessor.
Windows did not.
The change was because although at the introduction of the IBM PPC,
it was superior to the Intel offering, over the years, Intel worked
hard and pulled

Now you know why Apple is so confident about future OS X sales.
You may be better off following Mac user's favorite activity:

Some people will tell you with confidence that you can walk barefoot on
hot coals. I say: let them do it. Call me parano
This is paranoia; turn on the XP firewall and you can go online and d/l the
updates just fine. Slipstreaming is only necessary when you install the OS
from scratch many times. If you are doing a one-time install, it's a waste
of time.
If you are behind a home router, you have absolutely nothing
The main concern I would have is making certain that with the 3 year
copy of the OS, you would need to build a slipstream disc that
contains all the relevant SPs and critical updates. I "think" you'd

The XP you got with the old laptop was probably a 'branded' version,
legal only on that specific laptop. A full version of the OS that
could be installed anywhere would have cost a lot more.

XP would be if you have hardware invo
You can't "downgrade" the OS, but you do have the right to install XP in
place of Vista. You have to already have the XP media *and* product ID and
you can then install that instead.
The Dell OEM disks won't work unless you buy another Dell. The disks are
locked to the system's hardware and lice
Check their small business listings you can still get XP on systems
there. Our church bought one a few months ago and I specified XP.
