Ubuntu is free and I have not used Windows XP in a month: Don't believe me?

I don't think so, average UNIX admin makes more money that average Windows admin. Unix servers may look cheap to deploy but very expensive to maintain.

I'm having another issue. It seems that the XP operating system was neither preloaded nor included as a separate software pack. Also, I'm missing the USB mouse. Anyone else have these issues/

Yes. I also did the very same thing. However, I only use my XP laptop for my older programs that there are no newer versions on the market. I use my Windows 7 / Linux laptop for everything else.

not really...I was pretty shocked when I got it and found basically nothing on it except App options. I went from XP to 8 It was a huge transition

Honestly I was disappointed to the point that I rarely use the laptop now. I use my desktop computer for everything I do on the web, and if I have time then will just uninstall Win8 and install Win7 instead. I'm hoping that it is not a hardware issue though, as it is already 3 months since I purchased mine.

You will have to buy a different Operating System now. Windows won't give you the necessary updates for your computer and you won't be able to run any software. Support for XP ended in April 2014

My original answer was "I don't know", but after reading the box it included XP for compatibility. So the answer is yes.

It was for me. I didn't seem to have any problem using it when I upgraded from XP to Windows 7.

Not sure, I was running Windows 7, then about 4 months after purchase had to have it worked on and was replaced with Windows XP.

Even though Windows no longer supports XP, you may still have protection, depending on the anti-virus you will utilize. Most of us have bitten the bullet and upgraded to windows 7 which works well on the T-500s. Hope this helps!

You probably could, not sure why you would. (XP support ended April 8th, 2014)I bet it would take some serious investigation looking into which manufacturers chips are on the board (I mean specifically -- realtek, marvell, intel, etc) and download them from their websites. Good luck. I wouldn't waste my time, but some might need it, or want to run Virtual Machine sessions.

Windows 7 is the operating system out of the box. You don't need to do anything.

No, machine I received came with windows XP operating system. If you are looking for the machine with windows 7, you might want to check other machines.
