PC World - How to Get and Keep Windows XP After June 30 2008

I continue to be skeptical about the future of Microsoft's Windows Vista, but encouraged by news articles such as this one from PC World that inform readers about loopholes, or ways in which one can still buy a new PC with Windows XP. This article also confirms earlier posts indicating that Windows XP will be supported through 2014. If I needed to buy a new PC today, I would try very hard to find and justify the cost of a machine that has the XP downgrade feature, as explained in this article. And I'd use XP, knowing that I had the ability to "upgrade" to Vista at a later date at no extra cost.
