Hi! im looking for a very thin 11" laptop with long battery support, like 5 (minimum) hours and XP support

Right now i have a Acer R3, nice machine, strong battery duration, but only windows 7+ drivers, and I really want to use XP as my everyday OS, but still need movility

Any ideas? thanks

What about running a virtual machine? this is how we ran 2003 on much newer server hardware.
Win7 had XP mode so you could use your currant Acer but this does require Win7 to boot up first.
Or other "proper" virtual hosts would get around this as well.
