The simple answer: it can't be proven
There you go again, LD, not reading the article.

If your post is true, how do you explain Dell and other PC manufacturers succumbing to their customers' demands and bringing XP-loaded computers back to the market?

Of course, you were more non-committal than usual when you used the noun "people" instead of "everyone." Some people ARE interested in Vista, others are buying it only because they feel like they have to have the latest and greatest (or don't realize XP can still be had on a new computer), and then there is the category I fit under - those who have no intention of moving to Vista in the near future, if at all. XP works fine for my current needs, so why should I tithe to your religious leader, Bill Gates?
