Default Re: Buying a Vista Laptop
Hello,

Yes it can be done but Tommy Boy is a bit off. Since July 1, 2008 OEM sales of XP have stopped and therefor the manufacturers are no longer offering XP Drivers up for download since they are Vista only sales.

So you will not find XP Drivers via the manufacturer's website anymore. You will have to dins alternative methods to get the drivers. If you are lucky the manufacturer will still offer XP drivers. But do NOT count on it.

Cheers,
Mak
