$50.00 is a Great Deal... considering I was forced to pay the full retail price for XP, in order to get out of Vista Hell from Dell! Shall we say that Dell was, umm, of zero help in this matter. I am glad to see Dell has *finally* changed their stance towards being a bit less antagonistic towards their (former) customers.
Good - Make this retroactive, so those who got screwed by Dell and Microsoft into buying a retail copy of XP in order to "Upgrade" get fairer treatment.
Better - $0.00 to "Upgrade" to XP would be a lot more like it - Then I might even buy another Dell someday?
Best - Pay the customer a bonus for putting up with Vista, before the customer comes to their senses and *Upgrades* to XP!
