If you want XP, you can still get it pre-installed at Dell.com (possibly HP, others) They also stopped putting on all the crap, and have some end of fiscal year deals (ends tomorrow)

>Not looking for the best, or the cheapest, but something pretty fast, dependable and a good value. Would like to have wireless already installed. Mostly going to be used for running Quicken, Word and browsing the internet. Any recommendations from anyone who has recently purchased or researched? Thanks!
