I think it would have been better if it was accurate:

Last time I checked, IPv6 was not "incorporated" into XP. Given the
<sarcasm> huge popular success of Vista especially in corporate
environments </sarcasm> that changes the picture a bit, as XP still is
by far the most popular operating system.

I purchased some HP PCs recently; as many others, I bought the Windows
Vista downgrade (meaning: the Vista license is purchased and the system
comes with XP). And yes it is the actual wording.
