[access-uk] Re: I thought XP machines were stil available or am I wrong?

Alexander, I see that you still can get machines with XP from PC Specialist at 

PCSPECIALIST.CO.UK
And I recall that Dell still sell XP computers too. Do some search and you'll probably find many other places that still have XP on offer. Another solution, though more expensive, would be to buy a computer and try to get an XP CD from a software vender separately. 

Cheers,
Amro

Hi all,
Before I get to the point of this message, I wish to make it clear to the moderators of the list that my references in later paragraphs to specific companies with regard to software, is purely related to my question.
I currently run Supernova which I purchased from Dolphin Computer Access Ltd on a laptop I purchased from a different company some time earlier. I have now got to a position where I wish to purchase a desktop computer, however, when I contacted Dolphin about obtaining one from them, I was told that the computers they sell now come with vista, (hence my other message regarding Vista).
My question is, as I said in the subject line, I thought XP machines were still available, am I Wrong?
Is the problem that specialist companies have been told, (as Dolphin told me), that Microsoft have stopped providing OEM machines with XP and gone to vista? 

I thought XP Still had life in it yet.
