Put it on a removable device. Use drag and drop to copy this folder from the removable device to a machine under XP. Do the same with a machine running Vista. Not to go ad-hominem right away, but if you report back that you didn't see a difference, a MAJOR difference, in favor of XP, then I know that you didn't do the test and/or you're a troll. There are many, many more examples out there. Here’s the tip of the iceberg:

I have had AT&T for years and dont even use it with the Mini 9. I get amazing speeds from TWC here in NYC and we all know that NYC get the best 3G speeds anyway. I just moved to the Upper East Side from downtown and before TWC gave me my modem and router to set up, I was using WiFi on here. Living in NYC, I search for available WiFi connections and I get over 30 at a time, god bless NYC. I took the XP version while I have a vista desktop. This Mini 9 does EVERYTHING I want it to do and it syncs perfectly with with HTC Unlocked Diamond P3700 US. I am a CASAC and work in a rehab. I provided my NY State ID to DELL and they gave me 10% because its being used in an institution, well at least they think it is. I paid around $400 for a full loaded Mini 9 XP Screw that, I love my Dell Mini 9. I have had AT&T for years and dont even use it with the Mini 9.

I really want a netbook instead of lugging around my 15" Inspiron 6400, but at that price, I'd rather get it unsubsidized. And not on AT&T.
