Dell has said that it will continue to sell XP past the Microsoft cut-off date.
They will do this by offering customers the Business or Ultimate version of Vista that comes with its own "downgrade" license. Basically a Windows XP license is included in Vista license with the mentioned versions.
This is great for those that are timid about using Vista, because if you do not like it you can go back to XP.

Yea for Dell. They and customers understand that Vista is not ready for the mainstream business and personal use. There are to many issues with it. I hope XP is around for a few more years.
One of the big reasons is that Vista requires a large amount of horse power vs XP. The amount of ram, processing power, and disk space.
Fortunately, the price of ram and hard drives have come down in price. I just don't want to upgrade when Vista just looks nice and doesn't offer any benefits over XP
