I would agree that a lot of machines are coming loaded with XP on them. I just ordered machines that allowed me to purchase them with XP installed but the kicker is that I also received Vista Business with the purchase of the machines (Sort of like have XP now with the room to move up to Vista when I'm ready).

With things like this, the numbers can be played with any way they like.

Trying to remove any bias on my part -- anyone can lie with the aid of statistics.
