Downgrade Vista to Windows XP

Who wouldn't want to run the most "stable" O.S. to date from Microsoft and no we aren't talking about Windows Vista.
I'm talking about Windows XP.
If you want an OS that looks good but crashes a lot then you might want to stay with Vista. Not to mention little support for your software, printers, cameras, joysticks...ect, ect, ect.

Downgrading Vista to Windows XP

The first step you want to take is to make sure you can find drivers for your hardware to work with Windows XP.

The new face of BSoD's

If you remember the old website, you will remember how... well lets face it, it was ugly.
The old site used E107 content management and I had run into several problems.
1.Lack of support from the community.
2.Little support for Google Adsense
3.Security problems!!

So I went hunting and testing for a replacement CMS. Joomla has the support base and tons of themes, but Drupal looked like it had the most promise for the future and I was planing on eventually making my own theme.
