That's not the point Andrew. The point is that I bought a new Toshiba laptop the other day that physically can't be made to run XP on its own. The firmware requires Vista to run and that's it. It's OK for you who has an older machine that you were able to wipe Vista from - but for me I can now run XP as well where I couldn't at all before...and simultaneously too - no "dual boot" required anymore. That's old hat.

I don't like being forced (by the manufacturer) to take up the latest, especially if, in my eyes, it's inferior to what I have running atm.
I have considered a dual boot scenario, but decided not to.
