I have noticed many new notebook PCs come with windows xp installed but all desktop PCs have vista. Why is this?

I have recorded a tape on a second-hand that I would like to email as an attachment to an email.
I don’t have any software instelled for the camera but I do have a USB cable.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have currently got Vista Home Premium installed on my computer and am running linux through a virtual pc. My computer is contently freezing having to run both operating systems. Is there a way I can have to separate operating computers on the same machine.

I have seen on the Dream scene program you can play a video as a background wallpaper is there any way of doing this on Vista home premium?
