The thing is it isnt just HP. I dont know of any manufacturer that has XP Drivers for new systems. Just go take a look at any manufacturer now and you will be hard pressed to find drivers for XP as it was released in 2001, 12 years ago now. It is very difficult for manufacturers to sit there and from a business aspect defend making drivers for such an old OS. I mean it would be difficult to find Vista Drivers now as well. That is even newer but still 2 full OS releases ago. Its not that I am trying to defend their actions, but seriously XP is 12 years old now and to top it off it isnt officially supported by Microsoft anymore. It is in extended support but you still have a hard time trying to get support without paying as much as it would cost to get a new PC for help from Microsoft.
