Ok, The Portable Consultant spoke a tad too soon when he suggested home users pretend to be a business when ordering online.
It seems customers are demanding not to be inflicted with Microsoft Vista’s teething troubles in great enough numbers to force Dell (perhaps others?) to offer new machines preloaded with XP instead.
The Register has the story here and The Inquirer has it here.
I suppose I underestimated non-business users’ desire for the same stability that businesses demand. Good work, folks!
