With the exception of some netbooks, all major retailers have stopped shipping Windows XP and now only offer Windows Vista on their computers. You can, of course, still purchase a barebones PC, or one bundled with Ubuntu or FreeDOS from Dell.
They don't. Almost all new computers ship with Vista. The only ones that do not are netbooks, which lack the processing power to run Vista properly.
Many new computers do not come with Windows Vista Basic. Some of the older ones do. You can request that they put Windows Vista basic on your computer upon purchasing.
Did you mean, "What are the NEW computers", or what are the NEWEST computers? If you did, Windows 7 & Windows Vista are the to newest versions of windows computers, unfortunately I don't know the newest versions of Mac and Linux. I hope I answered your question!
Some operating systems that are available with new laptop computers are some more common systems like the following: Windows Vista, and the Vista Ultimate.
You can do this with a small freeware program called ProduKey.
All new Taskbar
Most new computers come with at least a trial for office. Vista usually has 2007 and windows 7 usually has 2010
Yes. Look for ones that have a "Compatible with Windows Vista" logo on them. As of 2009, almost all new products are compatible with Windows Vista.
New computers are not being sold with either operating system. If you want to use Windows XP on a new computer, you will have to purchase and install it yourself.
Virtually all new computers ship only with Windows Vista these days. The only exceptions are netbooks and small-town retailers. You can still buy some computers equipped with XP on Newegg and other online stores. You can also purchase a barebones system, which comes with no operating system at all.
I guess, it should happend around October 22.
Almost all computers, with maybe a few exceptions, have Windows 7 pre-installed on them. That is, only if it is a Windows computer, as Apple computers don't have Windows OS.
