Many people do not like Vista for a lot of reasons. I personally donot like it because I can no longer use my favorite softwares that runs in XP due to compatibility issues. Initially I thought I would just install Windows XP over Vista. But again I had some issues with the drivers for my laptops – they are just made for Vista it seems. Finally I found a turnaround.
Microsoft thankfully provides a virtual desktop environment called Virtual PC. You can use it as a virtual machine in most of the Vista Versions and install Windows XP and other Windows OS on it.
Details on how to set up the Virtual PC on your machine can be found in this link.
I am currently using it and found it powerful and fast enough for my programming stuff.
It comes FREE of cost.
