Inspiron 9400 with XP?

Has anybody ordered a I9400 with XP? The site seems to allow it until
you get to the operating system choice, which is all vista.

I thought it might make a nice replacement desktop for when this
win95 machine bites the dust, no power consumption and built-in UPS.

But not with crippleware on it.

Choose the system, then click on the green "customize with Windows XP"
button....

Good thing I asked. That's the page I've been looking at. I looked at it again,
searched all over, no green button. Yet you say there is one.

It turns out it doesn't work with Firefox!

It shows up with IE.

I'm using FF 1.5.0 and it shows there. May be a version thing......

Glad you found it in any event.

Maybe it's a load images thing, and that button comes from off site
or something. All the other buttons work, though. Strange.

It's still not working with my Firefox this morning, with or without
hitting reload. It's seriously unhappy about something on the page.
