Can I get it with Windows XP? See this great review of the benefits you get when you "upgrade" from Vista to XP. My favorite paragraph was as follows:

Multimedia support on XP is vastly better than on Vista. Whilst content-creators had insisted on all sorts of intrusive features in Vista that made the multimedia experience a living hell for Microsoft users, thankfully with XP Microsoft were able to insist that their customers' needs came ahead of the content creators outdated business model. It's nice to see a corporation like Microsoft stand up to the cyber bullies at the MPAA and refuse to assume that its loyal customers are criminals. In any case, the DRM built into Vista was broken shortly after its release anyway.

Call me crazy, but doesn’t it kind of look like an LCD TV that’s using a trophy’s base as a stand? ;-)

I hope those speakers are powerful because they sure to stick out. One of the reasons I love my iMac’s design is its minimalism. If you didn’t read the manual you wouldn’t even know where the speakers were!

[MrsEmmaPeel]

It still has that crap Vista on it.

The Intel iMacs have popularized a new form factor. The PC world is scrambling to catch up.

If it didn't have the Dell logo on it, the XPS One might be mistaken for a product of the PC industry's design leaders, Apple or Sony.

Sony, maybe. Apple? Only if you hit the Apple with an ugly stick.

It would have been uber cool in 1998.

[antiRepublicrat]

It isn’t going to be mistaken for an Apple with the clunky base and the tacked-on speakers. Still, it’s a lot better attempt than Gateway’s first go at an iMac copy.

...Third, defying popular perception, the iMac costs less than the XPS One. The base, 20-inch iMac costs $1,199 -- about $300 less. And even if you double the memory, and add a wireless keyboard and mouse to match the Dell, it's still $1,399 -- $100 less than the base XPS One (though Dell is currently running a sale that wipes out the $100 gap). Even the cheapest iMac has a dedicated video card with its own memory, something the base XPS One lacks....

Pretty much puts that argument to rest.

Since Dell’s idea of “beautiful” industrial design has been to this point, throwing lots of neon lights on a box with glowing logos — this is a big upgrade for them.

Still cannot touch any iMac’s industrial design I can remember! Glad to see PC users have an all-in-one setup that doesn’t look too bad. I love that we can put our iMac in our family/play room for the kids and it looks like a piece of furniture with only the single power cord coming out of it (Bluetooth everything else, and Wifi).

Innovation from PC makers....who would have thunk it.

[RachelFaith]

One would think... that when it comes to a rip off... you could at LEAST... TRY and rip it off.

This thing is HIDEOUS !!

No fear... Dell can’t make anything BUT Ugly.

Pun intended.

The Texas personal-computer behemoth, long associated with boxy, boring machines, has started emphasizing industrial design.

...has started aping Apple, a company Michael Dell once disparaged but which is now triple the market value of Dell.

[JoJo Gunn]

Hasn’t IBM made something similar looking years ago?

[Still Thinking]

It’s pretty, but I’m sure it’s Vista only. Oh well. Oh, yeah, and it’s a Dull. They’ve sucked all the way back to the PC’s Limited days.
