new machine Vista -> XP, lil' TP story for ya
Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2008 10:25 pm
i'm expecting a new machine in the next few days and am planning on making a set of recovery disks very early on, then downgrading (really upgrading) to Win XP. i heard a rumor today i never heard before: XP licenses extend to two machines. so, say i have an A31 with an XP COA sticker ('cause i do) and want to use that key for the new confuser. can i just do that?
btw, if you're thinking you automatically get an XP key with Vista Business, well i understand that's true. i probably would've ordered VB instead of VHP had i known that last week!
still, i can't wait for my new TP. we've come a long way from that "stinkpad" 701CS i borrowed from a friend (his terminology, btw) when my Aptiva took a dive back in '99! i remember opening it up, seeing the expanding full size keyboard and thinking, "that's the mouse???" i'll never get used to this thing!!! i fell in love with the little orange stick and have hated trackpads ever since...
