Even Dell (and I would expect HP to follow suit v. soon) have retained a few of their product range to ship pre-loaded with XP SP2. Don't forget though, that those with Vista (particularly those home users) will see big benefits to the operating system as I do. I have a copy of Ultimate which has made home PC use much more enjoyable. You have to understand as a partner what is appropriate for the user and if that means it's still XP then so be it - we now have a choice again!

I really wish they would spend more of their resources on releasing a decent product that's compatible with apps and hardware less than a year old...almost every Vista customer I have has gone back to XP, most paying me to take care of it for them after the fact. wouldn’t it be easier for M$ to just send out a couple of thugs to beat the $199 out of you?
