Default New computer?


Hi People;

I'm in the market for buying a new computer and have come across something that disturbs me.
Every where I go the new computers come with Windows Vista.
I have heard from friends and acquaintances that there are many problems with Vista.

Well, I don't like it nor do I want it!
What approach can be used to acquire a new computer with XP?
The computer I am now using, will be handed down as it no longer likes me
Cheers and good on Ya's

Browser Firefox


Quite a few computers for sale come with XP and Vista is only an upgrade option. Look online for sites that let you build ur own machine to what ever spec you want, like here or here, they tend to have XP as a build option if you really dont want Vista.

Or you could go down the favoured route of building your own machine. That way you get to have exactly what you want and you will probably save a bit of money as well. I have just finished building the rig in my signature and will maybe do a step by step if people really want me to.

Thanks Firefox, but I'm the type of person that needs a
recipe for boiled water

I think I'm gonna ask the guys at Future Shop what they can put together for me.
Cheers!
