Buyers Review:

The laptop itself is fine, quite practical, and has not been configured to work solely with Windows Vista. The issue is that Toshiba, like most other manufacturers, only support the usage of Vista on the laptop, not legacy versions of Windows. That means you're entirely on your own in trying to find drivers that make all of the hardware work properly under Windows XP, keeping in mind they may not even exist. It's like buying a new car and attempting to replace the engine with one from an old model...it may work, but the manufacturer/seller won't help you with it and you'll likely have to do a lot of patch work yourself.My advice: If you want Windows XP, shop around for a model that's still shipping with it preinstalled. Dell is the most notable option, with several models letting you choose with OS you want. That way you can still upgrade to Vista down the road, but won't have XP driver issues for the time being.
