Another new feature in Windows Vista. The downgrade to Windows XP. Microsoft gets to count XP sales as Vista sales. PC World’s Ephraim Schwartz:

Dell will preinstall XP Professional as a “downgrade” on a variety of desktop PCs and laptops… saving users the hassle of doing it themselves.

It’s funny how there’s no clamor among Mac users to downgrade OS X Leopard to Jaguar.
