Vista vs. XP

I really liked my new laptop with Windows Vista...until I tried to network it with my other, XP computers. I understand the need for improving computer security, and from what I've read online, Vista's security features are a big improvement over XP. BUT, wouldn't you think that the folks over at Microsoft would be able to predict my situation (which, as I understand it, has been the situation of many, many, many, many others) and at the very least provide its customers with comprehensive instructions on how to solve this (common) problem? I've had to google this dilemma repeatedly and still have had to call upon the skill of a friend to (hopefully) solve it. The aforementioned friend arrives at 10 this morning to remedy (again, hopefully) the situation. Boo to Microsoft - I've lost several otherwise productive hours getting nowhere with this!

Advice on this topic is welcome and encouraged!
