    None I've seen but I guarantee if you listen you'll hear someone on the CB selling one at a TS.

    You can wipe your hard drive and install XP.. you can find it all over the place.. the updates however will take FOREVER to re-install..

    No, but why do you need XP? I think everything compatible w/ XP is compatible w/ W7.

    XP is not supported by MS anymore, so you would probably not get any updates from them. If you have an XP disk you would need an earlier version of window on it before XP would install if not a full install.
