last day for Windows XP at Dell

Today is your last chance to purchase a computer with Windows XP preinstalled from Dell. A few high-end models will continue to be offered with XP downgrades, but for the most part, your only choice from here on out will be Vista. Speak now, or forever hold your peace. Best bets include:

• Dell Vostro™ 1000 notebook - 1gb/80gb/CDRW-DVD - $399
• upgrade that same Vostro notebook with a better processor, 2gb RAM, 120gb hard drive, and DVD burner for just $80.
• Dell Vostro™ 200 desktop with 19" monitor - $419
• a similar suite of upgrades is available - $80 more to upgrade to 2gb RAM, 160gb hard drive, DVD burner, and 20" widescreen monitor
