They weren't specific but perhaps I don't understand your question.

If I got one in today, I'd plug in the XP license if the Vista license 
didn't work.  I haven't seen Vista yet, though, so I don't know.  The 
terms of the Vista license allow you to install an OS one level back.  I 
don't know if this involves jiggering with Open or not.

You are dead on with your description of the different Dell lines.
I was so happy when they moved commercial support out of other 
countries.  Now the strangest accent I hear is from Austin :)

Now if they would only get rid of the scripts.....

"Yes, I *know* to reseat every connector, cpu, and the RAM before I call."
