[QUOTE=Patricia;216126]When I was helping my partner to buy a laptop in the UK earlier this year we found that it was virtually impossible to get computers loaded with XP in retail outlets.
However, he ended up buying one via his university and managed to find one with XP. I'm told that business users can also get them. So it may be worth asking friends and family to see whether they can buy suitable laptops for you via their workplace, college or business.[/QUOTe

Thanks for the 'heads up'
