i was supposed to buy volume licensing for the upcoming PCs,
which doesnt come pre-installed with XP *they were pre-installed with vista*
i opted for a no O/S-included bundle

got a follow up call yesterday from M$ from my order last week,
"we regrets to inform you that we have stopped distributing this product...
kindly upgrade to Vista OS which comes with increased desktop productivity え え え え え え... "
え
え,.. so can i use pirated XP OS for it ? *hangs up* XD

they fail to comprehend the revenues generated from it's stable OS
this marketing decision is rigged to market support for the junked Vista

M$ wont give-in to consumer demands now for another extension of selling XP
but maybe later this year we'll see some developments on this issue
