I have XP on my desktop and Vista Home Premium on my new laptop, and I have the opportunity to "downgrade" my laptop to XP. Now, although I prefer XP I am having second thoughts about changing my laptop to XP.

The reason I am having second thoughts is the ease with which my laptop - Lenovo - latched on to my newly set up wireless network. I didn't have to do a thing to the laptop it just found the network in seconds. The thing I don't like about Vista is the lack of Outlook Express. It came with Outlook, but I will have to buy this in sixty days, and I don't particularly like it. I have installed Thunderbird as my e.mail client. If I change to XP will it be as good for wireless networking?

What would you do?
