When she get's home from work this evening we are going to talk and if she actually has an uninstalled OEM version of XP, I would like to get Vista off of the machine and have Dell have her use only XP. I already told her to send the machine back. Maybe I can get Dell to send her one with XP only already on it.
Vista is a good OS it does however take about a week to get used to it fully. After the initial "shock" you will notice that your productivity will increase and your experience will overall be better.

Dell will definitely have refurb machines with XP. If you really lean on them you might get lucky, insisting on sending back the Vista machine for a new XP machine
You would want Dell to install XP because there are Dell diagnostics and other programs that help Dell diagnose problems remotely (over the internet)
If she installs from the XP OEM disk she won't have the Dell diagnostics. Plus even after XP install drivers must be installed for computer to operate correctly
