Vista - Windows Vista

My question is for the experts,

All i want to know is Do I have to Have Windows Vista in my New computer or
can i have Windows Xp installed? I have had to many people had troublw with
the new software that i'm alittle leerie to use it. I'm really curious if the
new software is just alot of the old software put in one machine. If this is
so, then why have so much trouble trying to convince everyone it is better
when we all know that one certain programs work with certain software. I'm
sorry if this is a problem for all of you but, I think that someone had to
address this issue sometime.

No, you do not, and yes you can.
It's your computer, you can install (or not) anything you wish, own, or have
a license for.
What comes installed on a new system is totally up to wherever you buy it
from.
If they do not offer a choice, find one who will.
