Vista to XP Downgrade

Although Windows Vista was launched with much fanfare, user reaction to Vista has been mostly lukewarm, and many customers are looking for a way to "downgrade" from Vista to Windows XP. The reasons are many, including hardware incompatibility, sluggish performance, software that doesn't work, freezes or crashes, and gripes that the new Digital Rights Management feature unfairly restricts the freedom of users.

If you're running Windows Vista, and looking for a way to go back to Windows XP, here are some tips to take the pain out of that process...

What is Craigslist?

Who is Craig, and what's on his list? Craigslist is sometimes blamed or praised for killing the traditional classified ad business. Some call it the next eBay, and others use it for job postings. The site was founded in 1995 by internet entrepreneur Craig Newmark. It's an online community where you can find jobs, housing, goods, services, romance, local activities, advice and lots more.

Newmark says he started the site "to give people a break" and over a decade later, it's clear that the bare-bones but very useful site does just that for many people. Because help wanted ads are sold for just $25 in most cities and all other ads are free, Craiglist has expanded to 450 cities in 50 countries. Should you post your ad on Ebay or Craiglist?
