I want to buy a laptop but I dont like Vista. Its too confusing for me and I hate microsoft for getting rid of the old operating system. Is there a way to still get a laptop w/o getting Vista on it? I was even thinking of getting a used laptop but dont know the best place to get one.

why do you want to run after XP...It is replaced by Windows 7 which is as good and stable OS. All the new laptops come with bundled Win7..my advice would be.go for it without a second thought

I think you had some bad experience with Vista :). But dont worry, windows 7 is stable and works fine...

And currently no manufacturer provide their laptop with XP (except some nettop). Only 7 and linux are avaialble as OS.
If you are omitting Vista/7 option just cuz of additional cost then you can buy a linux based laptop.

XP can be installed on all laptops
you would need a little work to do that
