I see that copies of XP still sell well on ebay.


Sure. But the minute they come out with a new graphics card or something that has no XP driver you'll be up the creek. That's why Dell was unable to install NT5 on one of the laptops here. Before, I could cajole them into that for $100 extra.


It's going to be a *long* time before that happens - and the solution will simply be to buy a different graphics card. All sorts of organisations across the world are refusing to buy Vista - that's why most major suppliers still offer XP as a standard choice.
