The idea of buying a machine with vista installed, then wiping it, to install XP & hunting around for drivers etc. Is enough to but me off.

I'm running Vista on my desktop and my Laptop.
Did have XP on the Lappy but changed it to Vista after I worked the Vista bugs out.

Wouldn't go back to XP now.

I believe that Dell will install XP instead of Vista on request as they had so many requests/complaints.
