    I believe it's up to the PC makers to decide whether or not to offer XP if you've already bought Vista.

    Lenovo's deal is pretty nice considering I've heard their CS is horrible, but I have doubts that others will follow suit readily.

    I think it's more PC makers can offer it as you configure than an obligation to already sold Vista Business/Ultimate users. But, hey, you might get lucky if Sony decides to take a page out of Lenovo's book. :D
