Journal twitter's Journal: Want Dell XP? You'll pay up to $50 extra for the aging OS 1

To get XP on new Dells, you have to buy the most expensive version of Vista and then pay an extra $50.

Dell Inc. will charge customers up to $50 for factory-installed Windows XP on some PCs after Wednesday, according to the company's Web site. Buyers of the low-priced Vostro line of desktops and notebooks will pay $20 to $50 more for Windows XP Professional installed as a "downgrade" from Windows Vista Business or Vista Ultimate than they would for Vista only.

To meet Microsoft Corp.'s June 30 end-of-availability deadline, Dell will stop pre-installing most versions of the seven-year-old operating system after tomorrow.

Ah, the Genuine Advantage. GNU/Linux looks better every day.
