Dell responds to customer feedback by bringing back Windows XP I love that "Microsoft is shrugging off Dell's decision to expand its Windows XP options"... Sure it is! What else can it do? It already has said it won't allow XP to be installed on new PCs starting 7 1/2 months from now. What's a few months? Eventually they gotta get Vista whether they want it or not. But outside of Microsoft's spin control, you know this can't be good news for Windows boosters.
