Dell To Offer Win XP On Consumer PCs Again

phalse phace writes "With so many consumers still asking for Windows XP to be loaded on Dell's consumer level PCs, the PC maker has finally decided to offer that as an option. 'Like most computer makers, Dell switched nearly entirely to Vista-based systems following Microsoft's mainstream launch of the operating system in January. However, the company said its customers have been asking for XP as part of its IdeaStorm project, which asks customers to help the company come up with product ideas. Starting immediately, Dell said, it is adding XP Home and Professional as options on four Inspiron laptop models and two Dimension desktops.' The Dell models with the Windows XP option are: Dell Inspiron 1405, 1705, 1505, and 1501; and Dell Dimension E520 and E521."

this means the hating of Vista is stronger then the hating of previos OSs.

Yes, Microsoft's eternal struggle to make each succeeding operating system 'suck just a little bit less' than the previous has now come to an end. A new era for all mankind!

Isn't that Xubuntu download done yet?!

Good, Maybe MS will take a hint....

It's not MS that needs to take a hint - it's the people who buy MS products that need to take a hint.

dont forget! hate leads to suffering!

But Microsoft's already on the dark side, so they don't have to worry about it.
