    Basically I hate it lmao!

    Can I ask Dell for XP, I heard some people had refunds? I dont neccecarily want a refund I just want rid of Vista.

    I know I ordered it with Vista but I really dont want it. Surely it would be cheaper for them to let me buy XP discounted or give me it then me send it back under my warranty because im not satisfied?

    Ask XPS tech support chat line.

    I've heard Dells offering the XP restoring disk at a price of 20 bucks for limited time, but haven't tried it myself.

    Thanks guys.

    I just rang dell and there sending me the disc and drivers free of charge. The woman had to check with her supervisor but then it was all fine. Horray!
