I see a HUGE market for downgrades.

This is something not commercialized (until now), but people are Always looking for the prior version of many apps, and OS's.

I would LOVE to have access to XP versions of the restore discs for 2 machines that I have, that were previously sold with XP and then Vistaed with no configuration changes. Seems to me my VistaHomePremium license should allow me, after a small fee for materials, handling & shipping, to install XPMCE instead-of, or parallel-to the original OS install.

This is probably going way-off subject - but:-

I recently bought a Dell Dimension 9150 (used) but as I live in Spain the whole thing is in Spanish and I need to get hold of an English OS disc - anybody got any advice please!!

PS And don´t say go learn Spanish cause I´m having enough trouble with the lingo as it is

I've been working with computers for over 40 years, frrom card sorters to mainframes to PCs in 1978. I have seen a lot and have been told a lot more. Now I only believe what I experience.

Many, many thanks, for all of you that have made comments and pled for help. You have my sympathy and empathy. Lucky me, I bought through QVC, and when I complained about my DELL Inspiron 1720, with Vista Home Premium pre-installed, QVC promptly mailed me an RMA.

Tonight my daughter will help me pack it up and give it to UPS. I had thought no small machine's problems could defeat me. I was wrong.

Dell & Microsoft should be embarassed to have co-operated to ship this turkey.

I am so glad to hear this! Windows XP is way better than Windows Vista will ever be in my opinion! Windows XP has the performance and has some looks. But Windows Vista is all about the looks. So Windows XP all the way, plus if you upgrade to SP3, you won't have to worry about it. ;)

Thank you for this excellent thing you have done for all of us, United States people!

Microsoft once again showed it's comtempt for it's customers by imposing an OS that is only 75%+/- operable and waiting for user complaints to help them figure out how to finish designing their new product. Their contempt for us borders on criminal because it costs us money/time to operate their new OS while they are trying to make it whole. No wonder Apple is making a big comeback after nearly being run out of the business.
