Maybe this will change if  'Vista' really turns out to be as 
dissapointing as some reviews claim it will be.

Does that mean that my old 800MHz Thinkpad T21 will become 
collectable?    ;-)

Unlike many recent laptops, it has a built-in modem (or rather a 
winmodem, but it does work under Linux), USB2 and fast ethernet ports, 
plus  PCMCIA slots. Apart from maybe a bit more speed, what more do I need.
