Look on Dell's small business page. You can still buy computers from there
with XP for a small fee.

Subject: [CGUYS] Laptop computers for teens, tweens?
HELP! My teen (soon to leave for college) and my tween want Dell Inspiron
laptop computers (the ones that come in all the "cool" colors -- thank you
Dell TV advertising blitz!). Problem is, Dell only sells those with
Microsoft Vista (soon to be abandoned by Microsoft in favor of Windows 7).
Further, the college that my child will be attending supports Windows XP but
not Vista. Besides, the family PC is a Dell desktop (circa 2002) that is
running Windows XP so EVERYONE is familiar with this OS. The kids have used
Vista at their respective schools and don't much like it.
My question to the esteemed members of this listserv is: How/Where can I get
a new Inspiron laptop (remember, cool colors!) loaded with Windows XP? And
how can I get them in time to put them under the Christmas tree?
Help!
