I'm a little ticked off! I NEED to buy a new computer and HP has always been one of my favorites because they allow AMD in more of there computers... But now I don't know what to do because NONE of the computers offer XP anymore! WHY HP WHY! I've searched for hours and hours thinking there was backdoor to get to the XP models but NO!
It is simply the licensing agreement they have with Microsoft. Bundle the latest OS with all new HP Builds. Nothing stopping you from using your old machine's XP on the new box (unless it was an OEM version)
