A computer that is bought as one piece from a company that has Vista installed will work with Vista. There's no reason why they should sell a computer with an OS that's not compatible. Every one would return their machines and the companies would not profit. My village called. I was told that they missed me.

It sounds like a PITA but I would try if it was me. The idea that you are forced to buy only one OS with no alternative is BS and should be against the law. I can understand them not wanting to support it, fine. But give me the option to have no OS pre-loaded and refund the difference. This guy got a $50 refund. 20d / Tamron 28-75 2.8 / Canon 10-22 / Canon 100mm macro

Her haughty reply was that it was not possible and I didn't have any choice because all new computers now had Vista. I said "Yes, I do have a choice. I can build my own". I just hate it that the choice in a new computer has been taken away from us. Misocrsoft has started to shift ALL OEM partners to vista. I believe the drop dead deadline is mid summer when all machines must ship with Vista. XP is being end of lifed rather quickly it seems.

That is probably the most relavent problem for photographers.

Apr 20, 2007 15:10 | #29 queenbee288 wrote in post #3049222 Thanks guys. I did look at the Dell's and can get what I want there at a decent price with 6% discount thru work but I don't want Vista. I went thru their configure and it doesn't offer me the option of Windows XP. I repeat " I am scared sh**less of Vista. Apple is not entirely out of the question. Apparently Dell have changed their stance a bit. John
