Almost all laptop manufacturers provide drivers online. You should have no problem downloading drivers for XP. In fact I did exactly that on a Fujitsu Siemens. Vista was so damn slow and unpredictable, I swapped it to XP. The performance improvement is definitely justifiable. You can go back to XP a couple of years later, hoping it has something to go for it by that time.
Buy your laptop from Virgin Megastore as they provide International Warranty. It may be useful if you travel outside Qatar. Other stores don't provide International Warranty.
