XP availablity after June 30

Posted on June 25th, 2008 by Heather Braum

As you may have heard, you will no longer be able to purchase a computer with Windows XP as the Operating System after June 30. Don’t panic! Due to the relative unpopularity of Vista, Microsoft has decided to allow users to choose to “downgrade” computers to Windows XP when buying certain versions of Vista. In particular, Dell has a “downgrade” option you can choose as you are building a computer. When selecting your operating system, choose the “Genuine Windows Vista Business Bonus-Windows XP Professional loaded” option. The computer will come with XP pre-installed and give you the option to upgrade to Vista at a later time (if you ever want to).

See the following website for more information: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/sitelets/solutions/software/business/xp_smb?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&~tab=2

Also, if you only need a copy of Windows XP Professional after June 30, contact the NEKLS office. We can help.

As always, contact Liz, Heather, or Sharon if you have questions. If you ever would like assistance in purchasing new computers, contact Liz or Heather and we’d be happy to sit down with you to figure out your purchasing options.
