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.

Well, that isn't always the case, to be fully honest.
An example: Vista Ultimate full version costs in Europe almost 600 Euro.
An iMac 17" starts from 999 Euro including OS and Monitor. Is that expensive?
Considering the specs you can get for that kind of money from any other vendor: yes.
