New Laptop: Should I wipe Vista and install XP for MxO?

WinterMute gives good advice. Stick with the OS the machine was provided as the drivers will be tailored for that OS. What you really need to ask yourself is: " Do I NEED a laptop? Or would a desktop be ok?" A desktop can give you much bet...
