Yea, but who would want a crappy HP machine anyway? Even though Dell is
"losing it" their machines are much better than HP. Oh the poor
consumer....

People who buy HP machines don't know any better, therefore don't know they
have choices (or don't understand it)

What about the "fact" that HP is out selling Dell - and HP is offering
only Vista?

Dell is just losing it and they are grabbing at a life ring.

Today in a newspaper advertisement for Dell computers directed at
business
customers, the ad gave customers a choice of Windows Vista or Windows XP
for
each computer being offered. I've never seen anything like this before.
In
the past, once a new version of Windows had come out, Dell sold all its
new
computers with the new version.

What this seems to indicate is that Dell is aware of the problems with
Vista
and the unhappiness many users have expressed about it, so they want to
attract more customers by giving them the option of buying XP.
