Hi Christopher,
I'd like to meet the person who wrote this.
DELL, the second largest computer manufacturer in the world,
have re-introduced XP systems after doing a customer survey.
Misco, a moderately large supplier, have brought many XP
systems back into their recent direct mail catalogues.
Indeed we have just purchased a Fujitsu laptop from them
with XP on it.
wStore, a French owned wholesaler, have also increased their
XP range.
At this point in time, there is little or no shortage of XP
systems, even if your local PC shop claims otherwise.

Subject: [access-uk] XP versus Vista
Hi all,
Sorry for the vague subject line, but couldn't think of what
else to
put. Also sorry for the cross posting, but you'll see why
below.
I read from one of the RNIB (Royal National Institute for
the Blind for
those who didn't know) magazines, Compute IT I think, that
OEM
manufacturers will no longer be able to ship XP with their
computers,
nor will retail outlets be able to sell XP. Does any of you
know about
this? Apparently it's because Microsoft will no longer
manufacture the
product, and therefore we will all be forced to switch to
Vista from the
end of January next year. I just hope by then that JAWS, at
least, will
be good enough to work with Vista as we'll have very little
choice after
the above date. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this
please. My
partner and I are personally disgusted, and may even
consider switching
away from Windows because of the complexity of using Vista
with
assistive technologies. Thanks, and I look forward to
hearing from you.
