October 22, 2010 was the final sales day for Windows XP, at least according to Wikipedia: "...OEMs installing to ultra low-cost PCs (ULCPCs) until one year after the availability of Windows 7 (October 22, 2010)" Which is probably why some netbooks were still available with XP even this year. And when I was shopping for a laptop on the Dell website a few months ago I recall seeing one of the options included downgrade rights to XP, with both XP and 7 media included. Just now when I looked again, thate options was not found.
