Gateway Now Offering XP

The previous offer was sponsored by Microsoft with the OEMs
determining the final cost for shipping etc.
Since it has now ended, I doubt it will return.
At this point people should expect to get the OS they order and
nothing more.
Expecting anything else is bad planning on their part.
