I HATE VISTA and need something that works better.Is there a risk with switching?All answers are appreciated and Thank You in advance.
I NEED to go backwards because I am more familiar with XP,and VISTA has far too many glitches,and security,for my taste.

the answer is by Serial Experiments LAIN :
yeah downgrading is kind of expensive,
but i'm sure you could find an XP disc cheap
and if your serial number doesn't work for that
disc just call up customer support saying you
used it on another computer in the house and
they'll give you a new code during the activation.

worked for me
