Dual boot with WinXP
Have XP preinstalled and install Ubuntu over XP in a dual boot set up. Interesting idea, since you wouldn't see the cost of XP. However, I'd just go and tri-boot XP/Vista/Ubuntu, since it sounds like you've already got a spare copy of XP floating around. Then when Vista stabilizes you'll have it there already,

problem with dual boot
