Oh and the reason for putting XP on and not vista is simple - I have Vista Ultimate licenses (as well as all the other versions through Technet) but Vista sucks so much that I will not run it on my machine... I had it installed and really just got tired of nothing ****ing working, drivers sucking, and just in general the OS not letting me do anything but make it look pretty.
Call me in 2 years when Vista may be ready to rock. Until then XP is doing it for me
(and this is coming from someone who has been called a MS Zealot before... Ill call MS products shit when they are shit. But the inability to run almost any Adobe app, or the need to hack Adobe reader's install just to get it to load under Vista is complete bullshit. - thats just the easiest example of many similar issues I ran into).
