    Well I just got my XPS M1330 in the mail the other day and I wanted to run windows xp business as my operating system because of all the issues that have been going on with vista. I talked to a couple people that worked on vista they said that vista still wasn't ready that xp would be a better choice. I know that I can load xp and have it work on my computer it has the XP drivers. My question is will it affect everything else that came pre loaded on the computer. Just like the little stuff like the dell battery meter or will the biometric finger scanner not work because it was all set up with vista.
