Yesterday you claimed it was a quote "fact" Dell was no longer shipping XP systems, when the truth is they are going to keep shipping them till at least 2008.

I am going to jump in here on this. I called Dell the day before yesterday to see if they would sell me a laptop with XP. They said they would not. The same thing happened with Gateway and HP. My wife needed a new laptop for her genealogy work and I finally bought a refurbished unit from HP. That was the only way I could find a laptop with XP on it. I tried Office Depot, Staples, Office Max, Sam's club, Circuit City and Best Buy. All of them did not have a laptop with XP.

He was referring to businesses, which you can find easily by going to dell.com, choosing small business then selecting XP on the left menu. Try telling them you want it for your business, but I’d recommend going ahead with Vista if you’re buying something new, would save you the cost and pain of upgrading later.
