if it was a non upgradable product fine
if it was just a cheap pc got from a supermarket (like mine) and you wanted to update the gfx card (like i do) and found it lacked the correct modern standard slot and just allowed for pci gfx cards that MIGHT be slightly better than the built in one then that would suck
or
you upgrade the gfx card or similar only to be told your version of XP dont like being messed with and it says "install vista to do that buddy" then again it is a bit of a stinker

if it was something competing with the likes of one laptop per child then xp is a bit too bloat anyways
