I know that XP SP2 has the MS bluetooth stack built-in, but what bluetooth
radio hardware do people recommend? If I get a dongle or USB bt stick at my
local Fry's it comes with software for the Widcomm stack. How can I stick
with the Microsoft stack?

If the hardware is based on the generic Bluetooth radio class driver, then
you should be able to simply install the device without touching the disc it
comes with, and let XP detect it and install the standard BT stack.
