A friend of mine had XP installation disk so she formatted and installed XP on her new Vista laptop, which did void the warranty, but at least now she has a working XP machine. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3980#post-43118 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:23:14 +0000 hotdoge3 43118@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>It 6 months on new P C as they don't like the eeePC only run UNIX LINUX &#38; XP not vista they may let it go longer to try to stop Linux.</p> <p><a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=10303&#38;tag=nl.e550" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=10303&#38;tag=nl.e550</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3980#post-43045 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:56:26 +0000 Catnip 43045@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I also think MS should have done XP second edition. It's good to know that we'll be getting updates, though. I have actually dreaded buying a new computer, when the time comes, because it won't have XP. I hope that Vista just goes away and maybe they'll do some sort of XP Revisited after that. It would be worth waiting a couple of years for a new computer.</p> <p>Do you think that new games will eventually require Vista, or do you think that they will skip it, and maybe have a new operating system that is superior, and allow games to continue to use XP until that time? (I'm talking about games that take a lot of resources, such as Oblivion, when there is a sequel). </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3980#post-43015 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 18:34:30 +0000 Lee 43015@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I don't understand what the fuss is all about.</p> <p>Support will finally run out in 2014 for XP anyway.</p> <p>I always never understood why M$ didn't just have XP second edition as personally<br /> I luved XP pro. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3980#post-43004 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 13:46:03 +0000 copmom 43004@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>And I had to pay $99 to Dell to DOWNgrade to XP when we just got our new machine!
