Can you even get xp on a new computer now or is vista the only thing that comes with new computers?

I am running Vista myself and it is not without its problems I can tell you. I am not sure they make an operating system without problems. If anyone finds one let me know. It works ok for me, but could be better.

I really don't know, Mary. I was looking to buy a new laptop awhile back and couldn't find one with XP on it. Then a couple weeks ago I saw that Walmart.com had a new laptop on special discount that had XP. I went back the next day with the intentions of ordering it and it was already gone. I went to my Walmart that weekend and found nothing but Vista on everything. So, needless to say, I'm still looking...

Just an update. I have been using Vista, but it has its own problems. I would prefer the XP but switching now would only take time and money. I think they should have done more research and work on this program before they put it out on the market. Everyone I know has been having problems and patches have been sent out for some of those.

I've not upgraded to Vista,I'm still using XP service pack2.Vista is not a successful OS version from Microsoft.Many people are still on XP.And adding a video card is better,because then only you'll be able to run some advance graphics software on your pc.

XP every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Vista is a horrible operating system.

I don't invest in a new OS until it has been on the market for well over a year, I can't get online without it, or it is at least two upgrades from what I am currently using!

You are Right Sfabobby03, Vista is a horrible operating system. And microsoft knows it very well, Thats the only reason they have decided to scrap Vista and develop New Xp.
