A client gave me Acer Aspire 5720 laptop today, with the express instructions that: "Get rid of that &!@%!* Vista, and install a copy of XP please."
I laughed at the SINCERITY of his comment.
When I asked him what the problem with Vista was, he replied: "Just about everything. Nothing works - all the applications I used to use don't $!@$% work under Vista, and the $@%! is just a @%!^@* of a system."
Well, the funnies aside, does anyone know if this model Acer can run XP?
I told him that Acer are of the the few who have Vista-only BIOS's, and as such, it might be impossible to install XP on this laptop, so before I start, I thought I would ask if anyone here knows if you can install XP on this laptop.
The Acer website is not very helpful...
