there's that of course, but there's also the activation bug, and the fact that P will be obsolete almost as soon as you have got used to it. If you do get XP, don't say we didn't warn ya! and don't come here looking for answers WHEN it fucks up.
I personally suggest getting GNU/Linux, since it's bloody easy, bloody reliable, and you will practically be swamped with people falling over themselves to help you if you ever need it.
