Saving Windows XP

[gagged_Louise]

Seems the effort of the customers paid off. Microsoft have declared they will be keeping XP in stock till 2010 when sold with notebooks and low-cost pc's, and Dell are going to sell new legit copies of XP on retail with their machines until next year (coupled with Vista installation discs so you have the option to upgrade when you like). This also means that XP will stay supported and furnished with updates for at least two more years. Woo hoo!

Are they??? A friend of mine bought a new PC from Dell 2 weeks ago, asked them to install XP and was told they (Dell) could only install Vista now because of software licensing.
