I have a X40 laptop that's about 2 years old. As with any Windows computer, it's starting to slow down more and more with all the software baggage I've added. I'm considering restoring the computer to the factory setting that it had when I got the machine. I DO have all the restore disks. However, I would then have to go through a LOT of MS updates to get it to today's XP Pro.
I'm thinking of whacking the system totally and installing a fresh copy of Vista when it comes out early next year. From what I've read, my system should qualify to run Vista.
Does anyone have any thoughts about doing this? My main concern is installing all the necessary drivers if I did go Vista. So, I'm wondering if Vista will be able to recognize all my hardware and automatically install the needed drivers?
