My son is starting college in the fall - Medill School of Journalism at
Northwestern - and they sent a spec for the laptop he needs which
specifically said XP - NOT VISTA!!

So he gets the 'downgrade'.  This is the machine, BTW -

It was the wrong link - sorry.  Essentially (now I've lost the right one),
it said

"The following is copied from todays Sydney Morning Herald supplement, The
Guide - ICON Digital Living - Author Simon Tsang.

XP LIVES (Again) - Windows XP has been given a stay of execution (of sorts)
with Microsoft backtracking on an earlier edict to stop the older operating
system being shipped with new machines after June 30.

The deadline was itself an extension due to consumer demand. However, at the
Computex trade show in Taipei on June 4, Microsoft announced that computer
companies can continue to ship Windows XP with low-cost PC's until Jun 2010,
by which time the next version Windows 7, will be available, allowing
customers to skip Vista altogether."
