I was thinking about downgrading? Anybody have any experiences with Windows XP Pro 64Bit on the D10s. Was it worth the time and effort to downgrade.

Please let me know.

I just upgraded to 7 and boy system is very snappy. Vista was a Resource Hog Big Time, even with 16GB Of memory and two X5460 and 15k SAS Drive, now system feels much more alive. I see the running services are like half of what Vista used to run. Very cool, microsoft finally made a nice OS. I would suggest everyone should upgrade to 7, throw away Vista! All Drivers installed fine, expect for the Linksys, usb wireless card. No unknown drivers in device manager. Also, didn't have to change any settings in the Bios. Now time to learn windows all over again .

Oh yah, 7 is great!!! I just installed on my s20. I love that finally, I dont have to install raid drivers and audio/network/gpu drivers cause everything works out of box. I also got xp virtualization in case I really need an xp program. BUT, I cant get R&R 4.3 to launch with win 7 x64 (try as I might, it fails to launch). I might just have to use the win 7 built in pc backup cause I really cant afford to keep an OS on raid 0 with no backup!
