When you buy a Dell PC system configured with the Windows^®  7 BONUS program, your PC will come loaded with Windows^®  XP Professional pre-installed. With the BONUS option, you can transition to Windows^®  7 when you’re ready. Your BONUS Kit will include a Windows^®  XP Professional back-up CD which will allow you to re-install or transition back to Windows^®  XP from Windows^®  7 if necessary plus a Windows^®  7 Business or Ultimate installation DVD. Transitioning to Windows^®  7 is entirely your choice. Windows Windows^®  7 BONUS gives you the opportunity to run the XP OS for as long as you like.

By selecting this offering, you accept the terms and conditions of the Windows^®  7 Ultimate License (available here) or the Windows^®  7 Business License (available here) and grant Dell permission to install Windows^®  XP Professional on your behalf.
