By definition, moving from Vista to XP is a downgrade, not an upgrade.

Lets see, XP is stable, Vista does random resets and lockups. XP runs
just
about anything written in the last 7 years. Vista can't even run its own
bundled programs. XP is 2x faster than Vista. Since upgrading to XP last
Christmas XP locked up only about 5 or 6 times. From August to Christmas
prior to upgrading to XP, Vista locked up that many times a week. Not
very
nice when trying to take notes at school.


Methinks you have more issues than the operating system. I haven't had XP
lock up that many times since I first installed it in 2001. And while I'm
no
fan of Vista, I haven't had much trouble with it, just don't like the
slowness and the heavy feel of it. I just upgraded to 7 on my Vista
notebook. It's much faster and more responsive than Vista, but there are
a
few things about it I'm not crazy about either.

When the same computer has mega problems on Vista and very few problems on
XP, the problem is Vista.


Not necessarily.
