    Hello. I am having to buy a laptop for school. My school is requiring Windows XP Professional to log into their network. Is there anyway of buying an Asus W5F w/ Windows XP Professional already loaded instead of Windows XP Home. I heard that if you load XP Professional after the fact of buying the Asus W5F w/ Home, that you void the warranty. Thank you so much!

    I don't think that's the case. I asked my dealer the same question when I bought my W5F, and he confirmed that it would not void the warranty. Suggest that you double check with your dealer.
