Does anyone know the OEM release date of Win XP?

I know that the release date of Windows XP is Oct. 25th, but I was wondering if it will be released to OEMs earlier. Basically I'm wondering how soon you can order a computer with OEM XP preinstalled.

Steve Ballmer is convinced XP will be finished by this Friday.

Yes, and according to articles (can't remember where), MS had a ceremony on Friday where Bill Gates handed gold disks containing Windows XP RTM code to their favoured resellers (Dell, Compaq etc.)

I've installed the final version... and I have mixed feelings.
It's gonna take some getting used to for me, but first things first.. turn off all the extra garbage, and tell all the Wizards that I'm no dummy... so they leave me alone.

Gonna start really testing it tonight.
