UNSOLVED
- From what I got from what he's saying is that Microsoft disables XP once you activate Vista - and that IS NOT CORRECT -- I had Vista installed and activated - then I went back to XP on the SAME system - and it's activated and running strong ! If something like that really was happening - I would be a happy MAC user for sure. Regards
- The reality involves more. Vista is the prelude to Vienna. Vienna will be 64 bit and will be the next long range system. Windows XP will function but will not be supported for anything. Windows XP is now leaving this world as we know it. The only question is....how long till we are looking at 128bit or even 256bit....500 bit...1000 bit. So your license will be valid in that Microsoft simply won't support any windows xp at all.

Microsoft has already stated that XP would be supported AT LEAST until 2011 -- so to me - it's no big deal anyway -- by then MAYBE Vista will have the kinks worked out of it - ROFL - if not - maybe I'll just go with a MAC anyway. Who cares !- And Macs are looking better all the time -- I'm sure IF I ever did bite the bullet and get a Mac - I would probably be there for the long haul. I'm sure Vista will be a fine operating system just as XP is -- I have Vista Home Premium sitting on my bookshelf - but will wait a while before installing it again. Regards
