Thumbs up here for running XP (and 2000!) on DELL gear
NEVER had a problem > PAY ONCE, CRY ONCE OEM PCs
just make sure you have the genuine Dell XP Recovery CD to bail you out in case of drama,
with no Activation BS or desperate online piracy suggestions to think about on a legit Dell box/laptop if/when shtf
and you have to nuke a
p0rn infected partition, format and reinstall
FWIW: Dell Vista SP2 and Win 7 OEM upgrade rigs aren't too shabby either
------------------
@ Dell: please PM me for my banking details,
even though I spoke the truth, no urban battler plugs stuff for free in 2019,
and corporate praise doesn't put food on the table, or buy new OEM PCs.
Thanks in advance, Happy New Year, and don't be cheap about it darlings
