Is it considered backsliding??
Why is it XP specific though? Is it to do with the formatting of the
"elegant disk utility"

XP SP2 has the latest drivers for today's hardware, whereas the older
versions of Windows may not run. Plus, most modern software is written
for XP, and the drivers for the graphics and sound cards in the Intel
macs only have to be written for XP (there are different drivers for
different versions of Windows).
What this does provide is brilliant marketing for Apple, both hardware
and software. Hardware wise, people can compare directly the speed of a
Mac to a comparable PC. Software is a no brainer - people can see how OS
X rocks over XP on the same hardware.
And one other thing - games :-) There is a distinct lack of Intel ready
games for the Mac, while there are tons of games for the PC, where
probably 90% will never be ported to the Mac anyway.
