You can still get xp, and as a certified computer tech. I would recommend doing so. Check your local computer repair shops. If they don't have xp on hand, they should be able to order it. Vista probably won't be up to par for at least another year or two, You see Microsoft has this idea that quality should be tested in rather than built in, so untill they get all the complaints and flaws reported and figure out how to fix them, Vista will continue to be a menace. that being said, keep your Vista disk because eventually they will put out a service pack that will address most issues.
Send me a private message on the site, I may be able to point you in the right direction to get a copy of Xp.
Now I have a question of my own:...............
Does anyone know of a radar program such as the ones previously mentioned or similar, that will work on a linux platform? I'm running the newest version of Ubuntu Linux, Which is based on Debian. I can certainly run gr3 using an emulator such as wine but was just wondering if anyone knows of a prog like that made for linux/unix.
