I bet Microsoft is none too happy about this:

Dell has a Web page devoted to its new policy, Windows XP Availability, which notes that the last day to buy a computer with Windows XP preinstalled under the current rules is June 18. Afterward:
"When selecting your operating system, you will see an option called "Genuine Windows® Vista Business BONUS" and "Genuine Windows Vista Ultimate BONUS." With these options, you may...have Dell factory install Windows XP Professional. You will also receive a backup media disc for Windows XP Professional, as well as the media for Windows Vista. "

So Dell is bowing to market demand, as opposed to MS' wishes. That shows the loss of influence that MS is suffering - and it shows just how much people would prefer to not get Vista if they have a choice.
