I released that on new notebooks with 2-nd generation Core processors (Core i3-i5-i7) with dual videocards (Intel integrated and powerful external videocard), there a problem with drivers in XP.
It's mean that in XP you can use only Intel integrated videocard, because the external videocard will not works (although experiments with drivers, the external videocard is displayed in Device Manager with question sign). And the games works with only Intel videocard in XP (so, they works very laggy).

And you can increase a performance of Vista/7 by disabling a unnecessary services and uninstalling some default Windows programs which is unecessary for home user.
Also in Windows 7 x86 you can launch normally a most applications and games which works in XP even the 16-bit Windows 3.1 and DOS programs (Turbo Pascal, for example).

I like both OSes - Windows XP/Vista/7 because with right hands and good brains may you can configure the Vista/7 interface to classic view like a Windows 2000.
For example you can disable a Super Bar and restore a Quick Launch manually, enable a classic theme in Screen propetipes, return a signatures for program on a taskbar and download a patch for enabling a classic Start menu (for Windows 7).

@Dell0304 Nice video! I was installing Windows XP on Dell Inspirosion mini but after it has been installed, it has no internet connection. To get internet connection do I need to install the driver for the laptop to get internet connection on Windows XP?

@sypho2580 If you're unsure, then talk to someone else.
If you're installing Drivers, then you need to know what you're doing.
Also, the Windows XP FLPC rocks - it's more faster even than standart Windows XP SP3.

@AlexMagic777 Yes but it's very limited.

@Dell0304 Another question. To downgrade from Windows 7 or Vista to Windows XP, do I need to install Windows XP normally and after Windows XP is installed, do I need to install all of the drivers like screen resolution, ethernet adapter, speakers, mouse, keyboard and so on...?
