usually for laptops that come loaded with vista you cant find drivers for xp so many laptops wont work w/ downgrade to xp. desktops are more flexible.
vista's bugs are mostly patched, though it was buggy when it came out-- less buggy than xp when it came out though. my mac w/ the lates OSX (some kinda wildcat) still requires frequent updates and i get the "color wheel of death" every now & then. plus the programs take forever to start. even the fucking chess crashes 10% of the time-- it becomes frozen and won't let me win. it's all hype, i say.
re: old people who hate vista. old people hate everything new cuz they are used to their old ways & their brain isn't growing anymore. it's to be expected.
next im buying an hp workstation to edit on avid. i might not need vista, i think newegg sells the downgrades, but i hear vista business is good anyway so i just might-- what can't dual xeons handle anyway? now, dual xeons on a mac-- 50% EXTRA. plus another grand for 1/2ghz faster. ha ha ha ha! oh, the hilarity.
