Dell has issued a subtle dig at Windows Vista, describing the operating system as a "bonus" that comes with Windows XP.

The PC manufacturer is urging customers to take advantage of a "loophole" in the Vista licensing agreement that allows the company to continue selling systems pre-installed with Windows XP even after yesterday's cut-off date.
