What are you, an idiot? Buy a computer with no OS installed and install whatever you like. Why pay for Vista just to install XP instead? In fact, why buy a prebuilt computer at all when you can pay pretty much any computer shop to build you a computer for cheaper and get exactly what you want and not have to worry about this "Vista is mandatory" crap?</p> Purchase a machine running Vista Business and then get a downgrade licence to revert to XP?

Vista haters who have never used Vista and Apple’ “we’ve got nothing good to say about our OWN products” have campaigned well to sway the minds of ignorant computer purchasers who will be goaded into spending good money on an ancient tired looking, feature lacking, OS that will soon be less and less useful as new technologies drag the world forward and leave these poor people behind.
