Vista, Dell Laptops & FLStudio

[SG_4]

I'm looking at a Dell XPS 1530 to solely use with FLStudio. The problem is it only comes with Vista !!!

Any Dell fans out there ???

Is it possible and will I have any conflicts if I install Win XP instead ???
Will I then void any warranties ???
Also, is Vista really the problem that I've heard ??? Is it really necessary
to install XP ???


Im new to PC's, though have been a musicians for thirty some years, and
could use some input and opinions as to what to look for... and look out for !!!

Here are the specs....
