The Portable Consultant may need a new notebook soon and is quite dismayed by the growing pile of Microsoft Vista problems. Thankfully there are ways to buy a new computer with Microsoft XP installed…

…pretend you are a business!

If you visit a web site such as Dell.com that has the option of indentifying yourself as a “Home & Home Office” or “Small Business” choose the business option. In many cases the same machine will be offered with XP installed.

Businesses know the value of a stable operating system.
