Try dell.com or Best Buy, but I’m not sure if Best Buy still does XP anymore.

I haven’t ever had any issues with a Vista system, but I’m just a local fix-it computer guy.

Only problems I’ve ever seen with Vista, i.e., major, “show-stopper” problems, is that a certain percentage of folks have trouble installing a printer properly with Vista (usually HP brand printer).

Yes and I can tell you how maddening it is to have your brand new HP computer refuse to work with your brand new HP printer. In my case the printer kept printing the same doc sporadically over several days.

I forget what I had to turn off but whatever it was they could have configured the computer to do that. I did solve it eventually but man.
