Somethig seems wierd here. The whole "longhorn" name is gone, and its now called Vista which was been out for a few years....where ya been man? haha. IT is never good to install any operating system on its minimal requirements, especially Vista. Its heavy and runs amazing on a nice machine, but if you try and run it, even bare bones, you get terrible performance. I know this because i puropsely partition my laptop harddrive to where i had 20GB of hard disk space and i put vista on the partition. I have never had to wait 15 minutes just to open the start menu, lets just say that. Anyway, xp drivers, for the most part, are not capable on vista.
