I gotta say, everybody that pays $50 for a 'downgraded' laptop with XP is an idiot, if you have Vista, you can get a downgrade-key from Microsoft for free!

actually for the average person this, charging more for xp, has been constant from the onset, now they are just adding more to the cake. I looked up several dell laptops and every combination of hardware with xp was more expensive then its vista counterpart.
