When you say WinXP machines, are you selling them with XP? I thought even the extended support had ended.


Yes, they're sold with XP Delta Edition, which rolls up all the updates that exist into one package and adds some bells and whistles.

All my XP product listings have a disclaimer that mentions XP is unsupported and shouldn't be used for everyday computing; I have on occasion had to steer away customers looking for a general-purpose machine to something else. The typical customer who does buy an XP machine is either doing retrogaming, running legacy hardware (industrial control systems and medical equipment are common), or has some other XP-specific need.


mind dropping a link to your eBay page? I'm occasionally in the market for exactly this


I'm sorry - I prefer to remain anonymous on HN. But if you are looking for Windows XP laptops I'm not hard to find.
