Turning away business

I rather urgently needed to buy a new XP Pro laptop for pretty much immediate use; I wanted to buy from Dell but they are so pro-Vista they effectively turned me away.

For example the USA Dell website has something like "You spoke, we listened" and make it (relatively) easy to buy an XP machine, whereas the UK Dell website when offering info/choice between XP and Vista just relentlessly go on about how great Vista is, and hides XP purchase in the business choices, and adds something like £60 for the privilege of having XP rather than Vista, with a bit of extra delay thrown in for good measure.

My choices boiled down to Toshiba or Lenovo.
