any new laptops with XP?

I think it is better to own the lap with XP, backup and uprage to Win 7, if there is something wrong, you can restore to XP again
 
Hmm, would that not throw up a message with something like "operating system is older than that currently installed" [or words to that effect]

I don't know if installing an older OS would be a problem, but it the above happens then boot up in command line prompt and type:

Format C:

That should scrub the hard drive and leave it blank for XP installation (y)

If you format the HDD properly then there will be no olderversions of windows on it to throw that kind of message up.

Your best bet is a computer fair, go and tell somebody what you want building. No point in buying a new laptop with vista on and then wiping it off cos your paying for the vista. Might aswell pay for no OS and put XP on yourself if you have a copy.
