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.

That's bullshit.
You have absolutely no chance to rule out such a thing. Especially not without rigorously testing the installation at his PC or an identical system.
Without such rigorously testing of the system you cannot rule out hardware and software incompatibilities incl. bugs in drivers. You sound stupid when you want to protect Microsoft by claiming it Microsoft writes bugfree code.

You claimed there was no function in Windows to do so.
Fact is Windows modifies the bios clock on shutdown. It is not even an option.
You did naturally contradict yourself and was unusual ambiguous - even for you. You even ruled out the option of software bugs not to mention default settings and so on.
If there wasn't a function in Windows to modify the BIOS clock it wouldn't be possible for Windows to modify the BIOS clock. And if it possible to change the BIOS clock from within Windows then Windows also have a function for modifying the BIOS clock. Else it would be impossible. Just like you cannot access a device without it being supported by the OS.
