deuces wild Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/1700AP_Dell_XP.htmlBack by popular demand: Windows XP. PC maker Dell Inc. said on its Web site Thursday it will once again let home PC buyers choose between Microsoft Corp.'s older operating system and Windows Vista when they purchase certain new machines. Dell, like many computer makers, stopped offering XP on most home desktops and laptops soon after Vista launched at the end of January. By late March, the company said only two models aimed at home users could be configured with XP (the option still existed on many models for business users). But on Dell's IdeaStorm Web site, where visitors can post suggestions for the company and vote on the ones they think are important, a plea titled "Don't eliminate XP just yet" racked up more than 10,700 votes. "We heard you loud and clear on bringing the Windows XP option back to our Dell consumer PC offerings," Dell responded in a Web posting Thursday.

-pops- Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Isn't there some misunderstanding here?I thought a brain fart was a 1. (n.) Malfunction of the brain on a given thought process, usually occurring during an important situation. (from http://www.unwords.com/unword/brain%20fart.html) rather than an impolite name as being used here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
