    Apparently, an upgrade has already been announced to the r500 before you can really even get your hands on one.

    I noticed the toshiba site has taken down the "pre-order now for delivery in august" verbiage and when you click on the vista version it says usually ships in 5-6 weeks.

    I'm waiting on the XP 2GB-capable retail version myself (long story) so if anyone see where you can actually buy one...let me know!

    In any machine without a 7200rpm drive or SSD and a relatively slower CPU, I think it's very easy to understand why one would want XP!! ;)
