Simon ( aka cpltd ) should be along or one of the other sellers on edugeek to help you out with prices etc

Any particular specs or price range etc you can pm them with.

Hey Marvin.

Surely if you are buying more than 1, the laptops will be imaged anyway? thus bypassing having to 'downgrade' the rest of the machines (apart from the first one?)

I havn't seen any with just XP, just as you say with the XP Pro 'downgrade' option.

You could try Novatech.....email them and see what they can do.......we get a lot of stuff from them.

just downgrading some acers right now getting rid of all the bloat i hate new machines.....

I have not seen any for a while the last three brands we got lenovo and 2x acer all had vista installed and the downgrade discs... its a pain but i only have to do it once then image them out.

Stone computers offer an imaging service, so not only could they provide them with XP on, but if you provide them with a master image with all your software installed, they'll all be duplicated with that as well - dead handy and best of all it's free when you buy PCs from them

Some HPs come prepped to a stage where it asks if you want XP or Vista when you power it on for the first time. It still adds "bloat" though.

Misco can supply Toshibas with either XP installed of an install disk which is probably a better way to do it because you have an easier path back to vista should you want it.

If you buy a Dell or HP Laptop or Desktops they still come with HP XP CD's.

or buy XP OEM copy from ebay.
