Be happy to get a fancy, flying new laptop, if MS would be happy to fund it. Just put Ubuntu on my Dell Inspiron B130. Does everything I need to do.
I bought a Toshiba Laptop last October with Vista installed. I absolutely hate it. I am waiting for my warranty to expire, and then am taking it in and getting XP put on it.
The damn thing will not run my camera software, or much else for that matter. It is outta here.
