If you have, fine. Otherwise, get Vista SP1.
Games now have so many updates to make them compatible with Vista, and if they don't you can run them in compatibility mode.

Just dual boot if you absolutely must have an app on XP.
110k a year for MIT, but thanks to low financial status, 70k is paid for.
The other 40k will hopefully be covered by ROTC, but I don't have my hopes up.

Guhh.
I really don't want to have loans, my stepmom is still paying off her Law School loans.
