Question from Phil: Asked on 04/02/2011 Is it compulsory to have Windows 7 on this laptop or could it be supplied with XP PRO? I don't mind paying the MS tax twice for the same product. All my current software runs on XP PRO which is 32 bit so not sure it will run on 64 bit Windows 7 (or even the 32 bit version of Windows 7)

Thanks,

Phil
