Was in a local Best Buy store last night. They have removed ALL
computers, both laptop and desktop, for upgrade to Vista. They have a
sign apologizing for no stock available on anything, and advising people
to come back on Tuesday, January 30th.

Apparently, it's too late to get a computer with XP. Dell is also
sending out a notice saying that they have completely converted to Vista
already. On a few high-end models for business customers, XP is still
available by special order. On consumer models, including Inspiron
laptops, XP is gone, period. Can't even be special ordered. Vista only
from now on (and actually apparently this was effective a few days ago).

XP, RIP
