Teens love Vista, their parents disagree

MIcrosoft CEO Steve Ballmer faced grilling from an analyst over the pain of moving to Windows Vista.

Yvonne Genovese installed Vista after her 13 year old daughter saw Gadgets on a friends computer and wanted them as well. Two days later it was all too much and Windows XP was welcomed back onto the family computer.

For me, the sad part of the tale is that she could have installed the Yahoo Widget Engine for much the same effect. But then that probably shows that I understand technology better than teenagers.

I bought a lovely Acer small computer from PC World but it has VISTA and I find it absolutely unfriendly.I have to purchase a 100 pound modem to connect to Aol I cannot use my programmes on it.
Please how can I get XP Home put on it??
This is very urgent as I will take it back to PC World otherwise.

HELP ME PLEASE.
