Acer Aspire5630, Upgrade to XP, wireless concerns

Hello
My Acer Aspire 5630 came with Vista Home Premium installed... I think
it is a pig and I would have a faster and better note book with
Windows XP. The one feature that I am impressed with in Vista is the
ability of my note book to find and connect to wireless services.

I have never used a wireless notebook before and wonder how friendly
Windows XP is with wireless connections. Did Acer provide a similar
wireless wizard with the XP operating system as it did with Vista?

Any issues or thoughts about "connectivity" issues that I should know
about?

Thanks for your time..
Ralph

I`vee been using my Acer 3003 with wireless and XP for more than a year now
with no problems. Connecting at home, community college, university and
other wireless in my neighbourhood (Not on purpose but connects fine to 2 or
3 other neighbourhood wireless nodes)

Going from a newer to an older OS often causes driver issues. Make sure XP
drivers are available for all of your hardware.

MS invested a lot in this... there must be something positive in it..
