ya i feel ya bro, how much did u pay 4 it? i paid 139.99 for my windows 7 and free instalation and drivers.

and My parents computer has windows xp home edition, cant do my school work on it, on this computer, i HAD windows xp media edition which had all my powerpoints and microsoft words and media center etc.

but for someone who HAS HAD EVERY version of windows, I HIGHLY reccommend Windows 7 for all, Vista is just pure shit.

and is atleast 3 times better than xp home edition and even sorts and stores your files ALOT better as well.

just a little inside note. I hope your windows works good and fast for you bro, ill see u in game whenever your on.
