In reference to a post by "Technically Challenged";

I've had numerous issues with Vista; most recently I've been through 2 full
system restores. It seems to be an ongoing issue with no support or help of
getting the original issue solved. I have an OEM (assumably) version of Vista
that came with my Gateway system. I have two questions:

1. Can I downgrade to XP Home or Pro without buying a retail copy?
2. If so, where do I go to get a version of XP?

I've been told by Gateway that, by choosing to downgrade, it will void my
warranty. Additionally, I was told to do a Google search on my downgrade
options. At this point, I'm beyond frustration and have had no luck with
Gateways' Customer Service line. Any help would be further than where I am
now.....
