The vast majority of Windows licenses come bundled with new PCs. They could care less about trying to convince people to upgrade current machines from XP to Vista. Even new machines sold with XP are still making MS as much money.
And since as of June, every Dell sold with an XP license will count as a Vista sale for Microsoft, they've even got the "Your old OS is selling better than your new OS" PR angle covered. Ingenious. Although I wouldn't be my usual pedantic self if I didn't point out the ambiguity of your second statement. If they could care less, then they do care, but how much? Do they care a great deal? Or do they care very little, but still have a little leeway in case they need to care less at some point in the future?
