Well, vista is really pissing me off, and i miss the old-fashioned, simple Windows XP. Is there anyway to get it for free? Or atleast pay 20$ the most? [low on cash these days]? Vista is just chock full of errors and invalid scripts... And if i do make the switch, will all my things be lost, and if they are, is there a way to save them? (iTunes Music, limewire videos, etc. blah blah)

Thanks to anyone who responds =)

I'm not aware of any way to get Windows XP for free (legally of course). There's a chance you could buy a copy fairly cheap off of eBay, but you would be taking a significant risk of getting a pirated copy or one that wouldn't be "Authentic".

Microsoft had a program where they were downgrading people who felt that they weren't ready to "move on" to windows vista. You can check that out at microsoft.com :D

Good luck,

Riku

P.S.


You could always access the hidden administrative account on vista to bypass all those prompts. Also, it will allow you to copy straight to the hard drive. I don't recommend you do this unless you know about computers in general.
