Hi, Bernard.

The disk is cheap, but it's no good without the Product Key - and that is
expensive.

And since "The laptop came with Vista", Soapking will not be going "back to
XP" on it, but will be starting fresh with WinXP on it.

As the others have pointed out, Soapking, switching to WinXP will not be a
simple exercise. Even if you are successful, you will still have the
"someday" upgrade to Vista in front of you. My advice is to invest the time
and effort now to move forward, not backward. A year from now, you will be
glad you did. And you won't even remember much about WinXP.
