Save XP!
I'm researching buying a computer for my parents. This would partially be to replace their aging computer that is developing more problems than it is worth to fix. And partly to try and give my father something to do if I can find enough "disabled person friendly" features.
One thing I don't want to do is to buy them a computer equipped with Vista. I'd rather stick with Windows XP, which is what I use at home and work, so at least I'm reasonably familar with any 'quirks" that arise. Microsoft, on the other hand, seems determined to force me to buy the 21st century equivalent of Windows ME.
Time to sign a petition to save XP?

I too am wanting to buy a new computer rather than building one this time around (I'm getting lazy) and it is hard to find any that have XP. I think either on Dell or Alienware (or maybe both) you can choose XP, but it costs you more. Anything Microsoft can do to force a crappy product down your throat they will do.
