I have a question.
Does anyone know?

Can you still buy XP?

The reason is, I bought an old server board (ASUS CUR-DLS), which is a dual processor PIII at 1 GIG. I put 2 1/2 Gig of RAM on it.
Nice little setup. But Win2K has a little problem with the USB. XP might have fixed it.

So I’m tryin to find out if I can still get XP. I refuse VISTA. Period. My sister bought a machine and says it’s junk. They don’t even turn the computer on anymore.

You bet you can; probably through the spring of 2008. See the link:

Microsoft Windows XP Home with SP2

I understand that Dell still offers the option of XP or Vista.

This is just and assumption but I think if a large original equipment manufacturer still offers XP then the software must also be available.

Through June, 2008 (M$ extended the cut-off).

Be aware that post-Vista hardware will likely not have XP drivers available anywhere, so use pre-Vista hardware.
