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.

Xerox PARC only invented it - Apple made it happen.

DOWN WITH APPLE!! :)

I received an iPOD for Christmas - my kids wanted me to
move into the 21st century.

I hate the Apple iTUNES software - that's one area where
MS does a much better job. Plus iTUNES is intrusive -
updating the iPOD my ass - they are spying on me.

Speaking of moving into the 21st Century, I have used
a straight razor for umpteen years - I have three of them,
all antiques and one was used by my Great Grandfather who
was a barber.

The last time the boys visited, they had left their
razors at home and refused to use my straight razors -
freakin' pansies.

So they bought me one of them fancy schmancy Gillette
"Fusion" razors. Damn thing has got a freakin' battery
in it. Used it once and went back to my straight razor.

At least I'll have a "21st Century" razor when they
visit again. :)

I think you mean foolishly not patented by Xerox along with a number of
other inventions. When you are making money hand over fist by copying
images you have a hard time seeing other technological breakthroughs.

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.

Can't rip something off when they gave it away.

Jobs was a visitor and saw it running on a machine. Was not a lot of
security in those days. When he sued M$ over the use of the GUI was a great
day when the judge asked how you could sue for patent infringment when you
did not invent the GUI.
