I will ask the MS rep about that too. I have some pretty good contacts at MS so I can get some clear answers.

One clarification, I understand the "supported" argument, I am concerned about the ability to SELL systems with XP. If we have to move to Vista, it impacts our minimum configurations since the units will require more RAM, more HD space, etc. Plus, not a single business customer has ever indicated an interest in Vista, they are all running XP apps. But we are told we must stop selling systems with XP in June.
