I was planning on buying a new laptop. Can’t find a new one without that on there.

I bought a new laptop just a few weeks ago because it was a close-out at a good price and because it had XP Home. I wanted to get one before VISTA was the only OS being sold on new ones.

I heard too many stories about VISTA beta versions not working, creating errors and shutting down legitimate software and hardware, and allot of digital management rights recognition problems.

I got one from ecost.com.  It's a refurb, but you can get an extended warranty.  Just gotta make sure you burn it in good.  I wanted to get one more XP laptop that can last me a few years until Vista gets straightened our and all the apps I run are ported.

I’m in the same boat. I was going to buy a new desktop, but I don’t want Vista. I saw Dell advertising a laptop where you could pay extra to backgrade to XP...
