re: downgrade to 2000 Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 6:38 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by phantom (5587 messages posted) Thanks CK for the info. According to Comp USA Lenova supports a downgrade to XP pro. So maybe I will go that way. I am too old to start a new learning experience with Vista. If it doesn't work out I'll just give the computer away.
