Hmm, yes you're right...

...you can install both and switch between them (dual-boot I suppose), but allowing two copies of Windows on one machine with only one licence? Isn't that a bit of a step backwards from the standard M$ licence policy?

And remember that you're still being forced to pay for a Vista licence and only using XP, so the point regarding false statistics and sales reports still applies. You're not getting a good deal, you're losing out.
