No prob, you can download the advisor at the microsoft website.

Or instead of upgrading to vista, you can do what I did.:

Partition your HDD in two. Install Vista in one of the partitions, and leave XP on the other.

Then everytime you start your PC, you are asked which OS to use.

thanks for answering my questions. im familiar with system restore, but is there a way to access it thru like starting up your computer? lets say somethig happens to my files and i cant get to my desktop on startup, is there a way to restore?

and you link isnt working, just brings me to the webpage you used to upload it, but no pic is there to see

edit- it works, thanks for doing that. so it comes with the sidebar? does it come with a lot of widgets too? what about that object bar?
