Clean install?


From what I'm reading, that may not be an option. The upgrade version of
Vista requires XP to reside on the disk, although I believe there may
be a
work-around. Also, if I'm not mistaken, once your register your upgrade
Vista, your XP license is toast. There's no going back.

It should be much simpler - you know what I mean?

Another reason never to buy anything from Apple.

They started all this GUI crap. :)



I believe it was Xerox, actually.

I'm more a fan of apple than I used to be, what with the iPOD and the
new $1000 laptops that are pretty damned nice and run both apple's OS
and Windoze XP.
