If I were getting it, I would just go for Winxp, and later install linux. That way, I get to choose and decide.

If I get the linux version, you do not have the license for XP later. Of course for the religious linux / OSS user, you should avoid the XP license as it will burn your hand. :p

But in case any of you religious folks get the windows XP version and want someone to suffer through XP, I'm here! hehehe

The 20GB VS 12GB difference in disk space VS os, i suppose because win xp need OS license and linux FOC so, paying for 8GB or paying for windows OS.

Must well buy 20GB Linux and self install windows XP!
