    If you're new to installing Windows XP, I'll include EZ to follow instructions. It's not difficult.

    I dont think you will be wanting to use windows xp for another 5 years, new programs will come out for vista, and adoption will increase. Also vista's bugs are getting fixed, it will take time. Also i your computer will be slow eventually with new programs, and technology.

    Oh, I'm quite positive I will want to keep using XP for the next 5 years, even longer if possible, for my trading rig.

    I've been using the same charting program for 16 years.

  9. Isn't there a COA and activation problem with this since anybody else's PC clearly isn't the same PC that the disc was first installed on?

    Or does a reinstall Dell OEM disc not in any way need activation?

    I don't know. Lots of trading programs won't work on Apple PC's. If you want to use a Mac for trading, you should verify compatibility in advance before buying one. (I use MetaStock, and there is no Apple version for it, last I checked.)
