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

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

Yes, dell offers it with all their products, since vista is a pos. http://www.directdeals.com/category-windows-xp-professional-sp2.aspx?gclid=CNO2q42uxpACFQMRlwodOCWKXQ

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.

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.

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.
