Well, their website says that they still "do" sell systems with XP
installed. Take a look here:

It may be that it's only with certain systems. They call them Windows
Vista Bonus Systems - they come with both operating systems, but XP is
installed. If you ever want to go to upgrade to Vista the DVD is
included (or maybe it's on a Hard Drive partition.)
I would tell them about this and try to insist that you want XP
installed. It might not work, but it's worth a try.
Good luck,
Donk
