If she is buying a new PC she will have no choice but to have vista. And yes, I am sure you can still download AVG. I have found vista to be very good so far despite my misgivings at not being able to get XP. ann Glos

I have recently obtained a Vista Computer and AVG works with no problem. It is my understanding XP is available until the end of the year, just look at some of the online computer sellers. Steve

Dell Computers said that due to customer demand you can buy Dell with XP. The main point is that many programmes will not work on Vista so your printer, scanner, perhaps your internet connection, will all give up. Clive
