Yep, I just bought a number of refurbished IBM "Thinkpads" under the name of Levono. My cheapest was about $200 for a T41 with only a 40 GB hard drive, 512 MB Memory but dual core processors and Windows XP Pro that I will use on the job talking to customer equipment using Procomm, storing everything on external Terabyte HDs anyway. Paid about $300 each for the T30 that I'm typing on now and one that I gave my mother that can't stand her new HP Tower running Windows 7. Both have 80 GB HDs, rest same as the T41, except Pentium 4. I picked up a T60e that has 320 GB HD, Dual Core processors, 1.2 GB memory. ALL are running Windows XP that walks all over Windows 7, but Microsoft is about to stop supporting XP, so I just brought them up to Service Pack 3 with all of the patches and will keep them updated...and cloned, because Microsoft is about to stop supporting XP.
I've got a HD for the T30s that has an OS called Ubuntu, which says its a "Human version of Linux", and thats a strange critter. I thought about overwriting it with XP, but think that I'm going to play with it as it is and see what kind of support I can find for it. Trying to deal with Linux commands is an experience and a half, but this Ubuntu seems to dumb it down to human use that falls somewhere between Windows and MAC.
Anyway, back to your question, I will take XP over 7 any day of the week, and just gave a brand new (month or so old) HP laptop running 7...away to someone that I don't like so much. They thanked me for the gift and I welcomed them, but walked away laughing "You will so get yours when you turn that piece of crap on, you rotten...".

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
