    I wanted to buy a laptop from a local dealer. Its a Sony Vaio AGN-AW11Z pre-installed with Windows Vista. I hate Vista. So I requested that he downgrades it to Windows XP SP2. He called back and said he cant find all the hardware drivers for XP. Has anybody been able to downgrade this notebook successfully? If so where can one get the drivers? Hope to get some usefull answers

    Why do you hate Vista? That laptop is more than powerful enough to run Vista, and Vista will take much better advantage of the hardware in it. Have you actually used Vista on a computer of that power?
