Hello all; My wife's three year old Dell desktop got fried in lightning storm last week so I'm replacing it. I'd prefer to keep XP, but at this point, everyone's shipping with Vista. Two questions: 1. Has anyone found any good web resources on how to downgrade an OS from Vista to XP? 2. I have the disks that came with the Dell that was destroyed, which includes a CD of Windows XP that I have a legal license for. Is there any reason it wouldn't work for me to order a new Dell, format the new hard drive and run that CD? Thanks in advance for any help Dan
