The only reason that is happening is because vista bombed and ms had to have something for the netbook market, so they reversed their decision to stop selling xp and added the "sell xp but with clause such and such blah blah" option. Because they knew that they didn't have anything good enough other than xp but they also had to stop the sales of xp in other markets because they would never be able to push vista that nobody wanted it in any otherway. Pretty pathetic stuff...
