Andy Pennell had a terrible experience installing Microsoft Vista. It started when he couldn't open the box, continued with a failed BIOS upgrade to his motherboard (luckily covered by warranty) and finally concluded with "My particular hardware cannot install Vista, and no-one knows why".
So what you might ask? Well Andy Pennell is a software developer at Microsoft.
What this shows is even skilled, well connected people like Andy struggle with operating system upgrades.
This is why we recommend consumers DON'T install Vista on a machine running XP. If the system is running well then it should be left alone, if it isn't running well then installing a new operating usually makes the problem worse.
If you want Vista, then buy a new system.
