    Anyone have any issues putting Windows XP on UL30A-X5?

    Before you tell me how Win7 is so much better..

    Reasons I want to downgrade...

    - IIS7.5 is a pain to configure compared to IIS6
    - my licensed version of ShadowProtect only works on XP, don't want to pay for an upgrade yet


    I was planning on wiping the laptop clean of bloatware anyways, just going to try downgrading back to Windows XP for now..

    Hey, did you get anywhere with this? Turns out I need to run XP to get the drivers for my DJ controller working, was wondering about dual booting.
