Nick, Vista isn't a favorite for many people.  I have it on the laptop
supplied by my employer, mainly because our IT guy was too lazy to
install Windows 7.  It took me a while to tweak Vista to eliminate some
nagging network problems, and now that it's finally stable, I don't want
him to touch it.  I don't want to have to setup my whole machine again
on Win7... and he wanted to wipe it clean and start fresh.

I agree that this thread has gotten way off topic several times.  That's
why I sent a separate one for my problems with Mythbuntu last night.

I'll be back if/when I have other questions.  I'll see if I can get the
machine to boot up directly into WinXP again, probably tomorrow or
Thursday, and then I'll mess with Myth on my son's machine.
