Kevin,
Thanks for the reply. I have just emailed them to find out if they do still ship with XP.

I spoke to Dell on the phone this morning. They do still ship with XP if you want, you just can't order XP online.

Its also on their latest flyers, that you can have XP if you require it.Originally posted by olderscot
PS I know Dell's been slagged a bit on here but on another forum I frequent there was a lengthy thread discussing said company. One chap is an IT manager for a company with over 450 active pc's. He swears by Dell and says he has very little problems with them.Comment

Anyone tried to install XP onto a machine shipped with Vista? I guess this should be possible .. thinking ahead to if (when) an XP machine dies.Comment

The hardware should support both OSs - at least at the moment. If not then MS Virtual PC running XP on a Vista machine should work fine.
The bonus with VPC is that it also allows you to take your 'virtual machine' with you on an external hard drive. I run VPC from an external drive to test different browsers and OSs.Comment

So... what does Vista do that makes an upgrade/replacement (with all the driver/software uncertainty issues) worthwhile?Comment

Phew *wipes brow*, I thought I'd missed something glaringly obvious!Comment

Its just a money spinner as far as I can see - I was quite happy with windows98. All that happens now is that a new os eats memory for very little if any gain to run the same programes.I thought I'd missed something glaringly obviousComment
