Making the Move to Vista x64

Hey

Moving from XP to Vista. A few questions regarding Vista though.

How easy is it to run older games? Obsessed with Diablo 2 at the moment. Do i need an emulator or anything like that?

How does vLite work? Do i need to install Vista, download vlite, make changes, then burn it to DVD(or flash drive)?

Can i remove Vista components and slim it down without having to reinstall a 2nd time? (ie, install Vista, then just slim it down)

That's it for now, i'll shout if there's more

vlite modifies your dvd, then you install. i'm pretty sure you can install vlite in xp though.....

thanks for the responses guys.

I'm gonna give it a bash. Playing with Vista Ultimate on a 2nd machine has been fun. I've yet to find out what it improves over XP, but as long as i'm not moving backwards then i'm not losing anything by installing it on my main.

Going to grab and extra 2gb Ram too
