Get a computer from the "small business" 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 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.
