I'm buying this tomorrow.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1213046785694
Ill buy it from best buy, am I getting the option to install windows xp, or I have to buy the xp software, and what do I have to do if I want to install vista back, because it comes with vista pre-installed (no cd).

ive heard of some BB's doing it for you but this one states...

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition 64-bit operating system with Service Pack 1 (SP1) preinstalled; software package included with Photosmart Essentials and more; 60-day trial version of Microsoft Office 2007 Student and Teacher edition included

so no XP it appears and no you wont get CD's you will most likely have to create the recovery CD's yourself

When I went to Mexico I went to the market and saw guys selling windows vista, xp, mac ox, office, photoshop, and other softwares for 1 usd each one, maybe here in Mobile AL there is a place to get them for that price but i don't know were.

If you want to run XP, you'll have to buy it and install XP on a seperate partition. You can dual boot XP and Vista. Click here for the drivers that are compatible with XP. Doesn't look like all the hardware for that laptop is supported with XP. You can still try it out, though.

He was selling pirated (illegal) software.
