    On the Dell website the only installation OS option is Vista for the XPS1330. Does anyone know if Windows XP drivers are available for a reinstallation?

    It is too early to say for sure. Dell support site doesn’t even list Vista drivers for M1330 yet. But I’m guessing you’d be able to run XP without any major issues. Basic components like Sound, VGA, LAN and Wireless will most probably work since they use very popular brands like Sigmatel, Intel and nVidia (even if DELL decide not to officially support XP, there is a good chance that you'd be able to download those drivers from manufacturer's site). But special devices like the camera, fingerprint reader and memory card reader might give you some trouble.
