I have a X200 tablet with Vista Business and want XP, how?

I recently purchased a X200 tablet for a really great price. It's a super nice system, but I absolutely hate Vista Business. This is my first system with Vista and I am scrambling for a way to get XP Tablet on it. I burned the set of 11 recovery discs, but they seem to install only Vista, unless I'm missing something. Is a XP preload available without buying the discs from Lenovo? I understand that Vista Business includes downgrade rights.

You could post in the Marketplace forum to see if anyone's got a set.

Dang, so what you're basically saying is that I can't do it with what I've got now. I need a XP Tablet recovery set for the X200. OK, thanks, and I'll see what I can do.

I think you may end up being a bit disappointed with XP, and find out that tablet features are better supported by Vista.
And yes, you have downgrade rights, but Lenovo does not promise to ship media for free. You can buy it from them or from someone in the marketplace, or try to get a free copy from someone who is nice.
