    That would usually mean that XP doesn't think it's genuine, or valid,
    and it is suggesting purchasing a replacement.  Since they don't sell
    XP any more, you get the Windows 7 purchase page.

    Have you activated XP?  Are you using a retail full licernse copy that is not in use on any other computer?
