You can easily get them man. You can use universal drivers if that dosen't work out.

And it would be very hard to get a new notebook that comes pre-loaded with XP. Your best bet would be netbooks which are very under-powered for ur needs. Every company today only supports Windows 7 :).

Too lazy, google it.

A universal driver works on all machines IIRC. Havent ever used it. Heard about it from a friend.
