Over the past few weeks I have been asked if Windows XP is still available on new computer systems. Seems that at retail stores, all of the new systems only come with Vista installed on them. But if you want to get Windows XP, your options is to order a system online. So I did some checking around and here is what I found for laptop systems.
Over at Toshiba they are still offering Windows XP Pro on selected systems like this one:
HP is still offering Windows XP Pro on systems as well:
So is Dell:
There is another option. You can buy a system with Vista installed and than down grade to XP. Word of caution though. I would confirm that the system you are buying has XP drivers available for ALL of the hardware.
If you know of other new systems in which Windows XP is still being offered, please let us know.
Comments welcome.
PS Here are other links that Douglas Brace sent me as well.
Here are some links for other Dell computers that still can have Windows XP configured as the operating system.

I personally recommend going with the Dell OptiPlex 755 Mini Tower. It can be found at http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/optix_755?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&~tab=bundlestab.

Hi Philip,
Thanks for the link.
Heh Den,
Pricing is very good on some models. If you order a business rig you supposedly get US support.

Alienware sells most, if not all, of their computers with Windows XP Pro and MCE 2005.

Hi Denny,
Most of the XP boxes are still available for many businesses who haven’t made the Vista switch yet.
