Actually if you look in the small business section they have more than one with the XP upgrade. And it was only $99 when I got mine a few weeks ago.

I just started with Windows 7 as well. It seems to me that the W7 has few hangups with device drivers and system/memory resource allocation problems. Just installed it two days ago... May load it on one of my laptops with Hoster and see how it goes

George, Microsoft is abandoning Vista, because it doesn't work right and most people hate it. The major corperations and government refused to use it. That is why XP is still around and working.
Windows 7 is Microsoft's next attempt at making a viable operating system and is only in Beta currently. Their release date isn't until sometime in 2010. Will Hoster work with it? That remains to be seen and I am sure MTU is not going to worry about it until Windows 7 is released. They will not be able to test before then.
