How long does XP have??

Can anyone tell me how long Dell, or anyone at that matter, will offer Windows XP once Vista has been released? Thanks!:smileyhappy:

Windows 2000 was available on Dells about 1.5 years ago, It will be around a while.

I'd give it until January of 2010. Check that, XPSP3 is schedule for January of 2008 and that will be it for service packs so it could be a year earlier.
