i'm sure there has been threads on this before, but it seems like the search engine doesn't like me since it doesn't show me any relevant threads.
so, i want windows vista for my new pc, but there is a piece of hardware that does not have vista-compatible driver (says so on manufacturer website). no idea when it will be available.
basically, i want to use xp now and upgrade free (or almost free) to vista later. there are some user reviews on a few popular vendors that discouraged me to go with this upgrade coupon path. supposedly, it takes forever or is troublesome to receive a copy of vista if you buy xp mce oem or xp pro oem.
if you have any experience using the upgrade program with those two versions, please describe how it went and suggest whether i should go for it.
thanks
