2 things: a) Two words: downgrade rights. Dell gives you the option to have XP pre-installed on machines with a Vista Business license, and if you buy a HP business-class desktop with Vista Business they give you re-install media *and* driver CDs for both.
b) Defender is a POS. The same can be said for most anti-spyware packages. The best one out there is the list host's CounterySpy. It's available as a stand-alone consumer package, a stand-alone enterprise-grade managed package, and bundled with their VIPRE anti-virus package. VIPRE is also available as a consumer package and an enterprise-grade managed package.
