Dell Turn Back to XP

Back in January, Dell decided to stop selling XP on new PCs and migrate entirely to Vista. By March, only two models continued to offer XP. However, after being plagued by considerable public backlash, that policy has been reversed. Now customers can once again opt for XP Home or Professional on four Inspiron laptops and two Dimension desktop models.

Why do people still clamour for XP? Windows Vista has been plagued with problems since its Volume Licencing launch back in November (and in the betas before it), and the system requirements to run Vista are much higher than those of XP. Also, the familiarity of XP will keep many people from migrating to the unfamiliar Vista.
