Like other people have said it's becuase vista is coming out. But for a different reason, windows media player 11, internet explorer 7, WinFS and other such technologies are planning to be backported to to xp. However, seeing as most of these "features" arn't even compleate on Vista maybe 2007 is MS way to say "when it's finished and working and we have had 6 months to try and switch people over to Vista, then XP can be updated".
AMD, Intel, Linux, windows and macs all apples and oranges useful (Well all except macs:P ) in different ways. I prefer to progam on linux using my intel and play games on windows using my amd and macs, well they have to have ther own use for something. I think that dell should sell both, let the customers decide what they want.
If anything like this article suggests comes on to the market im gonna run and hide. Googlemania has taken over the planet! they are a damn good search engine (i think the best there is) but its just turned into perrty rivalry and at this rate give it a few years they will have turned into microsoft. I think that there are too problems with google, firstly there a search engine (but do have other useful tools [earth. mail, etc...]) the second being they are A SEARCH ENGINE which wished to organize, catalolgue and cross-index every peice of information on the planet so god knows 'device' would catalogue to 'improve user experiance'. Not saying they are gonna collect user data but it is google primary function to collect search and become one. Screw teh Borg we will all become the collective under google. Better Not say too much otherwise they may hear:P

Maybe it's it's a .Net thing, since microsoft use it to create everything maybe they are just cutting ties with non .net based technology.
