I guess I just got under the wire then... the Acer Aspire One I got just a few months ago came with Xp.
But as you say ... they will probably all be coming with 7 now.

If you don't mind loosing all the data ... get a boot disk that runs from RAM or CD... don't even look at the hard drive ... just format it all ... I've found that hard drive makers tend to offer some nice easy programs to do this... or remove the hard drive , put it in an enclosure and format it as a external drive from a 2nd computer that is running it own OS from its own master HD... or if all else fails .... magnets
