Dell offering XP on consumer desktops and notebooks again

April 22, 2007

The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that Dell had stopped providing Windows XP for consumer desktops and notebooks,only providing Vista, but have found it necessary to keep on supplying XP as an option.

Michael Gartenberg, vice president and research director of JupiterResearch, said many consumers continue to buy XP because it is familiar, it works with their existing hardware and programs, and is overall "good enough," even though Vista boasts a prettier user interface and stronger security.
