    Hi guys,

    I plan to buy the Sony Z610Y/B in Bestbuy and downgrade the OS from 64bit vista to 32bit XP. Is it possible? I also would like to know if the downgrade DVD come with the laptop or not.

    I tried to call the Sony support but didn't get enough information about that. Thanks for help.

    Yes, it is possible to downgrade to Win XP. That downgrade disc is included in the box. Good luck.
