[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1026314, member: 46727"] Because XP is still very popular and the one operating system that will accept most any hardware and software without making a fuss. :D More copies of XP are in use world-wide than any other OS. I'm using Win 7 Home Premium from a BC partition on this machine and have had difficulties finding drivers for older hardware; hardware that is supported and working fine with XP. And since XP is no longer being distributed by MS, it's getting hard to find and that drives the price up. Same thing is happening to Leopard. Try to find a black retail copy of Leopard at a decent price! :( Regards. [/QUOTE]
