To dual boot Vista Home Basic and XP Pro or not?

[oilcanharry]

Hi all.

This my first post and I am loking for some advice here.

Here's the deal.

I am purchasing a Lenovo desktop and it comes with Vista Home Basic and I'm not very impressed so far.

The thought of having to dual boot doesn't thrill me much.

So here is my question: should I image the new computer and then format or dual boot?

Any thoughts on this.

First off, hello and welcome to THE forum

Second, just use Vista a bit longer then image it and install XP if you really don't like Vista. Remember that you can downgrade the Vista licence to XP by calling Microsoft hotline.
