While Ali speaks in jest... This for me would be the only serious solution to the Vista problem. Or just wait for Windows7...

I completely agree on this. Not a chance you'd get me to leave XP and switch to Vista. Not at the moment anyhow. I know many people who have down-graded to XP after installing Vista.

The problem is I bought this laptop with winblows Vista installed.  I was Amiga only for a while and skipped the XP OS.  I guess the question is would Microsoft let me downgrade to XP even though I do not own XP.

Hmm, probably not. You'd have to buy XP I'm guessing, unless the people you bought the Laptop from are nice enough to let you swap. Or you could go buy an OEM version of XP until Vista comes up to scratch. Would only be about $120.
