Goto agree with the animorphs for pre-teens.
I am a huge Sci-Fi fan an have enjoyed most of the greats; and alot of others along the way; but i got started on the animorphs and highly recommend it for that sorta age group.
I don't think any of you guys have actually read the sites you link to.
Dell wont load XP for any customer who requests it. Nor will any manufacturer. What they WILL do is exercise a 'downgrade' right that Microsoft has implemented allowing ANY preloaded oem version of vista business or ultimate to be converted to XP.
From that dell website you posted: "Customers may continue to get Windows XP Professional by exercising Downgrade Rights that come with Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate licenses"
This is a right given to purchasers by microsoft not the manufacturer and applies only to business and ultimate preloaded.
If your machine came with business or ultimate vista preloaded you can request the downgrade disc direct from MS. They are just cutting out the middle man for you.
Thats all
