Hello,

Just logged on to my brand new laptop shipped from US. A HP pavilion dv6500 with black color and corporate branding. I bought it with so much excitement.

I prefer Windows XP to Vista and asked the vendor to give it to me with Windows XP. He said the model comes with Vista installed and I can get it changed to Windows XP by contacting HP customer care.

I did bring the laptop to India – thought would give my business and general surfing experience a boost. I contacted the local HP customer care only to find that they will take 10 days to load windows XP on it – and DO NOT guarantee it to be working properly. Sadly, HP does not give the laptop driver CD…No one knows whether this is Microsofts marketing policy or HP’s………..:)
