BUT try to reinstall XP and you're screwed. The little Windows license key label stuck to the top of your system has a VISTA product key, not an XP key. The provided Vista key cannot be used for reinstalling XP.
You do realise that these computers come with a Windows XP restoration DVD/CD that does not require the end user to input a key at installation time - do you? or is this yet another example of an individual allowing hate to get in the way of a rational discussion?
