Dell, for one, still offers PCs that have XP installed.

On the left side, click on Operating Systems and select XP.

You can set up a dual boot system on nearly any computer providing you can
find hardware drivers for the older system. Rather than have a Vista dual
boot, I would buy a PC with XP installed since I know that the system
drivers will be available and correct for the hardware.

I really like Windows XP, but all of the new machines come with Windows
Vista.
Can you put XP on a machine even tho it already has Vista on it?
