It's about time to do my annual Windows clean install. Strongly considering "upgrading" from Vista to XP. Any suggestions?

Well me being an xp lover over vista, I would recommend XP, for its speed. Also be on the look for windows 7 here are some XP vs Vista comparisons for you powerdonkey.net/vista/compare_xp_vista.php tomshardware.com/reviews/xp-vs-vista,153....

I would at least consider the WIndows 7 release candidate while it's free. It hasn't been quite as fast as XP for me, but it's close and certainly a lot faster than Vista, and it has some nice new user interface touches and some real advantages over XP - much more secure, and a search doesn't take an hour.

Bdegrande, Windows 7RC does offer many great benefits like you mentioned -- great GUI and speed improvement. There were several changes made in Windows 7RC and I would encourage everyone to download it and give it a shot. After all, its free and won't expire until next year!

To learn more, Microsoft does have a site with whitepapers, tutorials, walkthroughs and screen casts on all the “under the hood� Features in Win 7. Check out the Springboard site for Windows 7 on TechNet here tinyurl.com/832nco Jessica Microsoft Windows Client Team.

This article discusses the installation choices available to you for upgrading from Windows XP to Windows Vista. Do you have an upgrade copy or a full product copy of Windows Vista? This is described on the front of the Windows Vista retail box or on an online sales receipt.

With an upgrade copy, you can install Windows Vista if you already own a compliant, licensed version of Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista. With a full copy, you can upgrade, where possible, or perform a clean installation of Windows Vista, even if no operating system is installed on your computer. Does the version of Windows currently installed on your computer allow you to perform an upgrade to the edition of Windows Vista that you purchased?

For help deciding whether to perform an upgrade or a clean installation, see the table later in this topic. Do you want to preserve your personal files, settings, and programs? Performing an upgrade preserves your personal files, settings, and programs.

Performing a clean installation of Windows Vista does not preserve your personal files, settings, and programs. You might also need to decide whether to install a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows Vista. For more information, see 32-bit and 64-bit Windows: frequently asked questions.

For instructions on performing an upgrade or a clean installation, see Installing and reinstalling Windows. For more information about installing and upgrading 32-bit versions of Windows, go to Installation choices for Windows Vista (32-bit) online.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
