Music Card/Driver/Chipset compatability is a delicate thing without putting a brand new OS in the mix - I wouldn't touch Vista for at least another year.

Thing is - I wasn't aware you had a choice.

If you're buying a NEW machine, I understood they ALL came with Vista and XP is now not able to be "bought" anywhere.
(Although you guys say you can "downgrade" now, so...)


Al, that search function I already have on my XP machine.

It does the same thing as your Start menu search tool (if I understand you correctly)

I agree - it let's you find ANYTHING in seconds, and I use it CONSTANTLY.

But if it's already on XP, why upgrade to Vista????
