switching back to XP

Hey, I recently bought a new computer woth Windows Vista on it. I do not like
it and prefer windows XP back. I know there is a way to do that as i read
from the internet but it was ver confusing for me since im not computer
savvy. can some one please explain to me clearly on how to do that?
Thanks alot!!

The easiest way is to return the computer and purchase one with
Windows XP.

Toshiba, Dell and possibly other major OEMs continue to sell computers
with Windows XP.
As well as almost countless local shops.

Also you may run into warranty issues if you have problems with a
different operating system installed than shipped.

You will have to purchase a license for Windows XP to reinstall on that
system since it was originally shipped with Vista. You will need to do some
research to find out if your system will readily accept XP since the device
drivers for it might be for Vista only. Instructions on how to reinstall XP
are available at the following link:

Alos, it wouldn't hurt to contact the OEM about getting your system and
license downgraded to XP, they might do this for a minimal cost if its under
warranty.

I would just learn to use Vista. XP is great but soon it will be like
Windows 2000. As more and more money pours into Vista, Microsoft will
issue Service Packs and fix problems in Vista as time progresses.

I assume btw you have modern hardware, since Vista is about 200%
faster than XP but your new hardware has to be 400% faster than your
old machine for you to see this difference.

to

to

What is it that you don't like about it?

Saucy

"...want to remove vista? Vista is sent by god."
I never suggested any such thing and you know it.
You seem to attribute ideas to me that are simply never conveyed.
However that FACT goes against your blind hate of Microsoft agenda.
When you can not use facts, you fabricate FICTION, and you do that
often.

Another typical post from you.
When you are unable to contribute anything of value, your ego needing
to post prevails and we see your typical attack.

It is noted that as usual you have contributed NOTHING to the OP.

Another handle used by you to escape and and make a vain effort to
hide.
