Re: should I format my new Vaio TZ ?

DO NOT REMOVE VISTA unless you can get the drivers from SONY for XP.
If they are not on the Sony site you will not find them anywhere else.
Just remove the bloat ware on the machine that you don't want.

If the drivers, chipset, sound, video, wireless and wired Ethernet are on the Sony site
you can have a go at xp.
