Not really apropos of this list, but does anyone know where one can still get a new laptop with Windows XP pre-installed as opposed to Vista? It's for someone at work who's asking.
I can get in some name brand ones with both Vista and XP, usually Vista preloaded with an XP downgrade license, but sometimes they come with XP preloaded. This is mainly in vendors' business lines so the prices are a tad more expensive than mainstream home laptops.
I can also get some tier 2 brands (MSI, etc) which have offerings that include no OS at all, to which I can add whatever XP OEM OS you want, for the appropriate price of course.
Lastly, I can get build-to-order notebooks where you pick all the parts and your OS, however the prices aren't as dirt cheap as what you see in the stores.
If you want some prices, email me.
