Can anyone tell me if it is possible to run the new Vista OS in XP fashion.
I could swear I saw a prompt for this when I first booted up my new laptop
recently that's running Vista Premium. I didn't take the time to read it
like a dope and just clicked it gone. Maybe I'm delusional. Maybe not.

Thanks

Hi,

Vista offers only "Vista mode" and "classic mode", no "XP mode".

Is the classic look and feel what you're looking for? Try this:

Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Change theme > Windows
Standard theme.
