If your comouter is running VHB, then downgrading it to XP is not a bad idea -- IF and it is a BIG IF there are XP drivers for the computer hardware. I am stuck with Vista on this laptop as Microsoft prevented Toshiba from writing XP drivers for their new models as a way to force people off stable XP and into the wild ride that is Vista...

I am going to yank Vista off this thing and install Open Solaris as the main OS as soon as I can burn the CDs... I will still be able to run a Vista VM
I understand what you are saying, but I am not nearly enough of a geek or hacker to attempt to install a different OS. Way too intimidating.
