"Dell charges you $130 to "upgrade" from Vista to XP" on by Tandy386
Pros: Great to see Dell enter the mainstream gaming market
Cons: Awful to see Dell gouge customers who don't want to be stuck with Vista
Summary: It pains me to give a big red 3 to the XPS 630. I love the fact that Dell has entered the mainstream gaming market and thank God that they are keeping XP as an OS option. However, I must protest what I see as plain and simple price gouging. Go to the Dell website and look at the first two XPS 630 configurations. They are identical except for the OS. If you order the XP version, you pay $130 more.
I can't believe that they are charging a $130 premium for the last generation OS. Simply unacceptable pricing.

but I was kinda hoping for a review of the product, not your analysis of Dell pricing of Windows XP. There are plenty of people who don't mind or even prefer Vista.
