15th May Windows XP MiniNote
lightweight has reported that The XP edition of the MiniNote will come with the media to install XP and the drivers but not with XP actually installed on it I think this is good news, as it ensures that you can do a fresh install if you need to. Installing windows is very easy and you get as many attempts at it as you want, so if you are unhappy just try installing again it will teach you a little more about computers if nothing else. XP runs very well on the mini note so this is something to look forward to.

so does this mean that it will have vista preloaded or no OS at all?

I might have to update this story as sources are confliting at the moment, my guess is that I would have nothing installed. The mole is reporting that it’s preloaded with xp, which would mean it’s already installed. Moles usually on the ball but the other source claims to have got the info from HP, so we’ll have to see how this story goes I’ll post when the details are confirmed.

I give up. I talked with HP again and get conflicting reports. It is a shame when they change their stories like this…

Unfortunately many customer support people have a habit of just saying what will make the customer happy to get them off the phone.
