That's not the point, it would appeal to business users if there are no hardware requirements above those of windows XP!!!
Windows XP was released in late 2001. It is now eight years later. Hardware capability has improved dramatically in that time. An entry level system, at $299, is more than capable of running Vista and presumable Windows 7 (which appears to have lower memory requirements than Vista) well.
If businesses have systems that cannot run Vista or Windows 7 then they either need to continue using Windows XP or buy new systems.
