So about a week ago my in-laws house got nailed by lightning and fried their comp. My MIL asked my wife to find and build her a new comp, they plan on getting into the 21st century, LOL.
We are building them a comp thru Dell and want to stay with Windows XP. The only option Dell gives is Vista but can buy a downgrade?? which makes no sense to me, but here are the options
Genuine Windows Vista® Business Bonus-Windows XP Professional downgrade [add $99]

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><!--option1 close-->
Anyway, they run a small business and mainly use it for Internet, order processing and email. Which option would some of you tech savy people go with? Is it worth spending the extra $50 to get the "Ultimate" or just stick with the Business package at $99.
