Welcome back BZK!!! Nice to see you again hehe...

Of course I hope you realise that you won't be able to downgrade from Vista to XP on your laptop, because the hardware will be build Vista-ready and drivers are not supported for the hardware in XP

But Vista is fine, just set it to run in XP visual mode and you'll be fine

Welcome back again bro.

No, it's the same as setting XP to run without all the graphics (demoting to win ME in a way) The system doesn't change in functionality, only in interface design.

How about this for OWNED:

This theory suggests that the kiwi's ancestors arrived in New Zealand from elsewhere in Australasia well after the moa. According to British scientists, the kiwi may be an ancient import from Australia. Researchers of Oxford University have found DNA evidence connected to Australia's Emu and the Ostrich of Africa. Upon examining DNA from New Zealand's native moa, they believe that the kiwi is more closely related to its Australian cousins.
They come from Australia you dumpasses.
