I have issues with Vista I can't understand, would rather have XP, new, with a warenty, on the internet. I do have a budget, sadly. Not all the money in the world. Preferrably 1000 dollars or under, if I sound cheap about that, I'm sorry. I'm only a high school student.

Answer:
Some laptops purchased from major manufacturers today have the option to “Downgrade to XP” from Vista Ultimate /

Business.

You pay for a Vista License and then use that license on XP instead

That usually means you’ve to buy your laptop from the small business store.

For instance, the Dell small business store gives you the option to have Windows XP pre-downgraded for you on any laptop.

Here's a link http://www.dell.com/content/products/cat…

You can also purchase any laptop with Vista Ultimate or Business, take it to any IT professional or reputable computer shop and have it downgraded for $200-300

Answer:
Due to windows xp being replaced by vista retaliates are not to sell xp pc any longer. You can still get a legal new copy of xp if:

You need to purchase a new pc with vista Business or ultimate which according to Microsoft enables you to down gradable rights in which case you also get xp for free. Check VERY CAREFULLEY with the company (i.e.: dell, Sony, Toshiba, gateway etc) if they’re offer such service. Just because they can do it that does not mean that they will or know about it. Good luck.

Answer:
Your ideal bet is Ebay, because back in early July Microsoft ceased the offering of XP on any new laptop or Personal computer. So XP is not available on any new personal sold through HP, Dell…. Anyhow, I have inside information from a reliable source that Vista will be replaced in late 2009 with a new “Microsoft” operating system, probably a better version of XP. So vista will be like MS ME – just a fading memory.

I have buy laptops from these guys in the past and they’re a good company to deal with:

I know from an ad I just got yesterday that starting Friday (Aug 1) they’ll have some Dells with XP (and they have the accidental damage coverage on them) and some Apple Powerbooks and imacs for sale. They usually have low starting price (like $10 or something) and no reserve, so the highest bidder actually wins!!!

Best of luck

Give them a try

Answer:
Try ebay if they’ve that in India. Keep in mind that MS has EOLd XP. However if you're looking for a light & fast OS, XP is the way to go. I sold my last XP machine and I'm all Vista now. (well I’ve 95 and 2000 but those don't count).

MS will support XP till 2010 I believe but huge repairs and security patches only. That's if you have a legit copy of XP.
