Get a computer from the "small business (http://www.dell.com/content/products/category.aspx/desktops?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd)" section, and you cant get it from the factory with XP. Vista sucks, badly.

Oh, and Dell also sells computers pre-installed with Ubuntu Linux (http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/linux_3x?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs) if you don't like the sound of Vista or XP.

HA! I just finished setting up a computer that someone I know just got. Its a piece of crap with Vista. I start it up (after the "whats your name" stuff) and explorer crashes, almost immediately. I HATE Vista.
