The other thing he can do, is to google around with the model name and
number to see if other users found drivers compatible with xp.
There are many people who don't want to go with vista or windows 7 for one
reason or another, and they are getting new laptops.
Also, some times, it is possible the vista drivers for a partiqular chipset
or hardware device are compatible with xp.
It might also be a good idea to send an email to the tech support of the
company and ask for specific advice to run xp on that machine.

Ramy,
The answer is maybe.
Some older vst manufacturers probably won't update their products, or they
will and make you buy the new versions, and some things might work in
compatibility modes, but it's been my experience that most things that
require low level access like our musical apps will tend to break with an os
upgrade.
Xp was very forgiving to 98 and me apps, but still, many things got
orphaned, and it's already been shown how many things vista orphaned, that
was part of the big stink about why people hated vista so much.
Window's 7 is more or less a bug squashed vista that runs better.
So you just have to try it and see.
Chances are that the 32 bit versions of either vista or w7 will run older
apps better than the 64 bit version, but again, it's a trial and error
situation, you'l just have to give it a shot and see.
Good luck.
