Get XP Pro. Demand it if they say they can't sell it to you. Dell still sells it because they told MS to stick their head in a pig because their customers were demanding XP instead of Vista.

I lucked out and found that the SZ model I wanted just happened to ship with XP Pro.

If they won't sell it to you, buy a copy elsewhere. Download all the XP drivers from Sony (and look at the page that tells you which order to install them in) and then install XP, letting it format the partition.
