[ale] Microsoft has set June 30 as the final day of Windows XP availability

[adrin at bellsouth.net (Adrin)]

Dell Calls it their Vista Downgrade option.   You order the PC with
Vista option and before you make it final you down grade to XP Pro.  I
only deal with Business Orders through Dell so can't tell you the option
is there for others.
