Dell still sells laptops with XP already installed. Check their business section for them.

And as you've experienced, installing XP after the fact is a pain, and may not function the same. Pre-installed XP is definitely the way to go, even if it costs a little extra.

On a related note, Windows 7 is basically Vista with less bugs and a better looking GUI (very nice task bar, etc). Eventually 7 will likely dominate, but best to wait awhile until there's less bugs and faster hardware (ie. Vista and 7 have a lot of DRM that strains some current machines). Imho, for most folks buying a new Windows based computer in the next year or two, XP is the best choice.
