    Just been on dell.ie looking for a new PC, but can't see any that comes with XP. Is Vista the only option now? :(

    Is there anywhere I can buy a new PC that comes with XP?, or would I have to build one?

    Contact your local computer guy. He will most likely have contact with supply chains that can offer XP.

    I ended up formating my PC as I was having issues with it last week. I don't think I'll get a new PC yet, I'll prob just get bigger hard drives etc.

    Thanks guys :)

    Windows 7 is coming out in October and is mighty impressive.
    It you use old applications that won't run on Vista or 7 Win & Pro has a virtual XP mode.
