Interesting Virus/Trojan From Clean Install
So my questions basically are: is it worth it to buy a laptop which comes with a basic Vista OS, wipe it and do a clean install of XP Pro? I am not worried about voiding a warrantee in this case. Or if it works better, can my XP software be installed as a backwards "upgrade" over Vista Home?

Worth upgrading to Windows 2000 from Windows98???
Yep, bullshit that a clean install is going to take 'weeks, if not months' unless you're completely incompetant.
