Oh OK I'm sorry, my mistake, I was thinking in terms of dual boot.
Well now that is a good option for people with new Vista laptops.
I'm 'lucky enough' if you could call it that, that my laptop was a pre-vista, XP model.
A P4 3.2g that (even has a parallel port) and enough grunt for now to do all my asto work.
I just think it's very unfair what MS is doing, pushing Vista like this when people actually prefer XP.
