From what I'm reading, that may not be an option. The upgrade version

Vista requires XP to reside on the disk, although I believe there may

upgrade
Vista, your XP license is toast. There's no going back.

Another reason never to buy anything from Apple.

They started all this GUI crap. :)

Ripped off from Xerox PARC.

I think you mean given to Apple by short sighted Xerox.

I think you mean foolishly not patented by Xerox along with a number of

Yup, that. Xerox was making so much money that survived incredibley bad
business decisions. Bought Shugart Assoc. at the end of life of Floppy
disks, bought a printer maker or two when they were becoming comodidy priced
with no profit.
