Most, if not all, new PCs and Laptops now come with Vista pre-installed. My new PC did so too. I tried to remove Vista and install XP but discovered that the hardware drivers were not compatible with XP. Since I had no Driver CD provided with the machine, I tried to contact the manufacturers for the drivers. I was told that these new Pcs can only take Vista, not XP. Is this a fact? What if I want to get a new Laptop with the intention of installing Windows XP? Is there a solution?

You can find many many drivers on the internet. I would try www.xp-drivers.com first.
