the part I don't get is, why would staples be selling xp that is meant for BTO computers?

and if someone were to come along and buy it, would the license still be valid?

it's for people who buy a bto computer online and it's for them to chose the os. from what i've read so far, orders are being cancelled for those who are not buying a computer.
