Actually, you can buy a new one with XP. Told Dell I'd get the XPS laptop if
they put XP on it, after a bit of "O we can't do that Sir Vista is what they
all come with" they finally realized they were going to loose a sale and said
OK. I've got the System 7 beta on the other laptop and it's running fine, I
even have MC 9 on it, no problems. Two desktops with XP, one laptop with XP,
one with system 7, all networked and running fine. Notice I didn't mention
Vista
