Dell Brings Back Windows XP

Dell initially converted virtually all of its consumer PC products to Vista, shortly after the operating system's release at the end of January.

"The excitement is real," a Dell spokesperson told TheStreet.com in March.

But the company now says it will offer Windows XP as an option on several models in its Inspiron and Dimension line of PCs.

"We heard you loud and clear on bringing the Windows XP option back to our Dell consumer PC offerings," Dell said on the Idea Storm portion of its Web site, dedicated to implementing customer feedback.

Windows XP will be available immediately, Dell said.
