Let's be clear. Microsoft has no plans to drop XP until 12-31-07. This was a Dell decision to try to force Vista.
And why is Vista such a PITA??? Because MS caved in to all the whiners out there that their O/S's weren't "secure." Starting with Vista, Exchange 2007 and Longhorn Server, they made the philosophical change from easy to use (ie "insecure") to "secure" (ie totally screwed up).
Good news / bad news??? Who knows. But as of now, Vista is not what anyone wanted, that's for sure.
