Dell Now Charges $150 additional for Windows XP

December 31st, 1969 | Category: Gadget News

Dell has been periodically increasing the additional price for new systems with Windows XP, and now it’s up to a whopping $150. No, that’s not the total amount they charge for XP. That’s what you pay after paying for the copy of Vista that you don’t want. Stated another way, that’s the penalty Microsoft and Dell

charge you to punish you for not switching to Mac OS and Apple when you want to avoid Microsoft’s hideous Vista OS. Is it any wonder Microsoft’s OS market share has dropped to below 90% for the first instance in 15 years? (props to Silicon Valley Insider)
