    Having followed the various posts am I correct in assuming that no one has actually received a Windows XP version of the Aspire yet?

    It seems that only Linux & SSD units are available, the higher spec 120Gb models are yet to appear?

    Yes, they are shipping - at least here in the US. I received mine yesterday. I bought mine at J&R (http://www.jr.com). I just checked and they are already out of stock!

    I have had a blue 1GB 120GB XP model on order since 14-07-08 in UK from CCLONLINE and the delivery date keeps getting bumped. Delivery is now supposed to be 27-08-08 but I won't hold my breath. I notice that PC world and Dixons have these 'in stock' on their web sites though but don't trust them........

    As with most editions of the AAO the blue appears to be the difficult one to get.

    Most versions of the AAO in white are available for next day delivery.

    Just got mine today from Play.com, waited 3 weeks, waiting for it to charge before I press the magic ON button. Ohh how I am waiting. Already brought my Wireless Laser Mouse with its Worlds smallest USB receiver and blue tooth mini usb receiver and new rubber case, rucksack, better bloody work.
