Edit: And from my experience with HP and Dell's site, they do not provide XP drivers for their Vista machines. I had to find the XP drivers from the actual mfg's site (like NVIDIA, etc)
Assuming the OP post is a typo the Inspiron 1501 does in fact offer XP drivers for their hardware and software.

As long as Dell continues to be able to provide options with respect to the OS installed, they would have to provide driver support for both.
I stand "somewhat" corrected.

I swear, and I had to look hard, I could not find XP drivers for my Dell machines I bought with Vista from Dell's website.

Looking now, I see they DO offer XP drivers!

My experience with this XP/Vista driver issue was back in September 2007, so I guess they have updated their website to supply these drivers directly.

I'll have to check HP.com now for the same thing.
