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

I had got the impression that XP was going to be available now until around 2010, but I am not at all sure where you can get it these days.

Hi Alexander
I believe you can still get a machine running XP, but they are now harder to come by due to the hype of selling Vista.
I believe Dell sell machines with XP if you specify you want it, but you'll be hard pushed to find one in a High Street store now.

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.
