So if I install Vista and everything goes wrong and I encounter a lot of
problems, I shouldn't have any problem AT ALL popping in my Recovery CD
and
installing XP again?

Yes you should be able to boot from the XP CD and reinstall XP over the top.
However this will not restore all your user files. If you have important
files you wish to keep, then back them up to another media.

Yes. However, it involves command line input and I don't
remember how right now. It was years ago the last time I
did it.

Since when Microsoft was capable to do something good in their existance,
even that game Gears of war suck since they put them self in, they cant even
correct their own creation, and they took us as dumb test for free to make
their clumsy OS finaly working at 5% .... they should pay us at least for the
work we do for them.

For the Brother , the company is dumb or lazy to produce a driver, and that
is not Microsoft responsability to provide it. that is to Brother.

Their whatever Engineer cant come up with what they told me in the phone,
when they are just 12 minutes from home in montreal.

more they get big more they get dumb, the money goes too much in the head

Dear friend Andre,

upgrade or not, when you come up with a new OS, all manufacturer had to
follow, they were aware of Vista 2 years , they just had to ask Microsoft to
implicate more with them.

This is much more manufacturer laziness, not preparing drivers at the time,
they know today technology goes fast they have to put the driver at the time
too.

Exemple : they accused AMD to be slow when we figure out was the motherboard
manufacturer such as MSI they suck it badly with the K9A2 platinum in real
time its a K8 board scaming fooling us for a K9, the processor Duo or Quad of
AMD was not responding because of that.

this is same issue, vista Ultimate i will say its the best software ever
worked with, the probleme is the manufacturers they come up with a low class
drivers most those new or cheap products, like Dlink and others still puting
XP drivers in the cd when they know vista is out since 2006 or 2007


Microsoft should do his part, but that is to Brother to work on it, if dont
then he do not respect the customer service and should be a law suit against
them for not being capable to provide the service and support we intend...
the printer we buy is not free so to them to come up with the drivers.

If you have the right drivers for your pc, and you do a regular clean up
with CCleaner and manualy too, plus a good defrag wont hurt, a scandisk every
week will be good too. We could put all on Microsoft in the other way the
sale guy or the tech did he really done a good job, dont think so, they never
do a 100% work.

A solution in case, when you install vista with all the drivers, he is too
big Vista for no reason that for sure anyway.... Have Norton Ghost version
10, plug a second drive then do a copy and paste it with NGhost to the second
hard drive in case you have a problem just ghost it back all will come back
as the first time or install all with the game , applications and then do the
Ghosting. if your system is fast that should take you 2 hours or less.

I invite you to have windows 7, or go tested he is much better and much
faster, how microsoft took off the bold graphic off and he inserted mac and
linux technology same time.

xp is not that stable as they say, depend on vista version again, the
ultimate version is to have it, beware will not accept 16bits only 32 bit
software. one thing Vista ultimate is more stable with AMD duo or quad. why
not intel well intel they use an application hidden to overclock their own
cpu. its a shame what can we do.
