Windows XP no longer being sold
By: bizgrrl

Denver Post/AP Headline 6/29/2008:

Microsoft to stop selling Windows XP on Monday

Just a tad bit misleading.

Apparently you can still get XP by purchasing Windows Vista and then "legally "downgrade" to XP". Or, you can go to "smaller mom-and-pop PC builder shops to buy XP for resale through the end of January".

They just have to force Vista on people, don't they?

It is a disaster of epic proportions, so much so that even Intel won't install it on their own work computers!

Dell has an option

With Dell you can buy Vista Business. You get a computer loaded with XP with a Vista DVD in case you want to upgrade later.

I don't know what happens if you have to install a new hard drive and want to keep XP.
