Love xp pro, hate vista ultimate.

Windows 7 ultimate is the best; by the time it comes out, end of the year i guess. it will be as good as xp but more slick.

Try it youll like it.

Or you could wait for Longhorn [-o<

That was the development name for Vista...!

Disco Matt:
I run Windows 2000 Pro in the car (laptop had a licence key sticker on it, so it's legit). Great OS, boots from cold in a reasonable length of time. A lot quicker than the XP which the last user had installed on the machine, and it handles Memory Map perfectly.

I will never understand the "must buy new software" mindset. If the old kit still does what you need, then why change? I've got a laptop here that runs Windows 3.11, it still works even though support for that ended years ago.

Depending on your PC it may be possible to obtain a rescue disk of some sort. I know I rebuilt my Dad's old HP laptop that way, as the XP code (a proper sticker on the underside) didn't want to work with an XP disk. I eventually managed to dig up a HP rescue CD, which sorted it out without asking for the code.
