    ive seen threads which mention about reformatting vista to remove bloatware, but i am yet to find something relating to installing windows xp on the m1330.
    I found some information on the website regarding this. http://www.dell-m1330-info.com/dell_m1330_windows_xp.html

    However i have yet to receive my xps. I ordered it on 23rd Jan 08 and Estimated Delivery Date is on 5th Feb 08. I beleive this to be an average time to wait for anyone who ordered an XPS.

    Nevertheless, anyone who has actually run win xp successfully with xps m1330 please let me know the steps you followed.

    It's basically like any other computer. Because it's a dell xps m1330 doesn't mean that the process is any different.

    Well look on the Dell website and see if there are those drivers for XP. But alot of the vista drivers also work with xp.
