Computer makers have been told
they'll no longer be able to get Windows XP OEM by the end of this year, despite strong ongoing demand for the OS. Analysts and computer makers are wondering if the move is premature given Vista's ongoing performance and compatibility issues. Dell recently said it would reintroduce XP on a range of machines due to customer demand but Microsoft will only allow this until the end of the year.

You don't know that. You're speculating. Maybe you and the people you've asked say that, but that doesn't quantify to the global population's preferences.
If demand really does drive Vista sales down and XP sales up Microsoft will re-evaluate the situation and either re-list XP or fix Vista.
If people don't like it, they can of coarse choose Linux. It's apparently superior in every way anyways. In fact, superior to every Windows version, ever..
