my laptop is well spec'd and had the option of vista but I asked for XP professional... unless you have serious amounts of RAM forget about using its advanced features.. its just a bloated shite OS.
Try www.aria.co.uk they usually have a few nice new units for lowish prices. I buy almost all my part's off there, as there usually cheaper on most things.

Hold up, putting asside the xp vs vista argument... you want a PC with the LATEST leagal I assume OS installed for under £200 notes? I know the economy has slowed down but it hasend died!!!...

i said about £200, mine cost £260 and you can get one for just under £200 from comet.
i dont find vista slow at all and i have 2gb of ram. i turn off all the bullshit flashy stuff you dont need or use and its fine. loads up quickly, runs things well and can multitask as well as i need it too.
i admit on my laptop its a little slow as it only has 1gb or ram, but in the process of upgrading that soon.
