Dunno about Linux, but our Dell rep (we resell Dells) told me back when
Vista came out that Dell would offer XP on Optiplex desktops and
Latitude laptops for at least a year. Come to think of it, they are
still offering XP on Inspiron laptops, as well. I just quoted one last week.

Dell seems smart enough to realize that a lot of IT people will continue
to purchase XP at least until SP1 for Vista is released and run in the
field for a while. We have yet to quote or sell a Vista machine.
