That's a rare testimony, M.
Most of what I've read is nightmarish. And there are a few components I use that don't play well with Vista.

Just went backward this weekend myself...
... Vista needs another year to clean itself up... just not worth it... and there are a number of 3rd party apps that won't do a thing for you in Vista..
Apps like Particle Illusion and bunch of existing games etc... plbtthhh... nothin'. :(

So, back to my original question:
Anyone here removed the preinstalled Vista OS from a new machine and lived to tell about it...
or are you buzzards just waiting to see if I'll survive?I feel so cold and alone right now.

I mean, open the computer, format it, then isntall xp.
why would that be a problem?

i have some trouble installing a wireless USB modem on it ...but with some search on the web, i found a workaround and it's fine now... and yesterday i found some new drivers...
..give it some time and it will be fine as XP is by now...

The SATA driver thing seems to cause problems for most folks who wipe the drives on pre-installed machines.
There's a whole sequence you have to follow and some companies have stopped providing XP drivers.
I'm buying a DELL and have downloaded every driver related to XP I could find on their website...
and I'm still nervous.
