with boot camp or fusion there's little reason to have a pc or run windows full-time.

I vote AllGold's post as the Post of the Month. For its simple and underlying humor.

[quote AllGold]Step 1. Buy a copy of Windows XP. (If it came with Vista, you don't have either the physical media or the license for XP.)

Step 2. Install it.

Step 3. There is no step 3. Actually, step 3 is fighting to find and install the correct drivers.

If you have Vista Business or Ultimate, it includes a license to XP.

If you buy a retail box of XP it may or may not install on the laptop. XP SP2 doesn't contain a lot of SATA drivers and certainly does not have the latest drivers or drivers for anything new and simply won't install on a lot of new machines. Maybe a slipstreamed XP SP3 disk would work?

The guy here at work returned his Dell for the exact same model with XP preinstalled.
