I swear, and I had to look hard, I could not find XP drivers for my Dell machines I bought with Vista from Dell's website. Looking now, I see they DO offer XP drivers! My experience with this XP/Vista driver issue was back in September 2007, so I guess they have updated their website to supply these drivers directly. I'll have to check HP.com now for the same thing.
