I can't even imagine why they would say that. It seems as if they have decided to offer XP for just about every laptop they sell.

I believe XP will be the retailer's safety net until at least SP1 is offered for Vista. Maybe even after that. If Microsoft tries to force it's hand too soon, I suspect you will see a huge jump in Apple sales. I was one click away from buying a Macbook when I saw the Dell news release about XP. It bought me a little time- but how much?
