Can you still buy Windows XP?

[djf]

Anybody know? Walmart? Circuit City? Ain't got the patience for Vista.

Last I checked you can still order a Dell with XP. (If you’re feeling lucky.)

[Spruce]

Sure you can. Most large retailers have gone back to selling XP.

I need it in the box. The upgrade version.

Try ebay.

Look for NIB in the title. That’s ebay-speak for new in box.

Thnx. I thought I had heard you could no longer buy it. I might check Wally World today.

I believe this is a MS store. I purchased XP here.

Make sure you get XP Professional.

I bout a laptop from the “business” side of Dell a couple of months ago with XP.

The advantage of Professional over Home Edition is...???

[day10]

Better User Management, supports IIS, and more geeky things I prefer, I guess.

I already have the hardware. I bought an ASUS CUR-DLS server with dual 1 ghz PIII’s, and 2.5 gig ram. I installed scads of HD’s on it, plus a raid.

But the USB on it is a bit flaky and WIN2K is having problems. I know for a fact XP will fix it.

[rlmorel]

Exactly.

I NEVER recommend Home edition for anyone...you can be certain that if you scrimp and get the Home version, as sure as God made little green apples, you are going to need a feature in Professional.
