[Stoner]

Actually there is if you still want a new branded computer loaded with XP.

[Stoner]

Guess you really don't like Dells

Again.....If someone doesn't want Vista, Dell is still offering a line with XP.

Would I buy one?
Probably not.

if you recieve vista and you dont want it you can call microsoft and tell them it sucks and they will downgrade you and give you an xp home/pro code over the phone

What is the point of anyone here trying to convince you of something you clearly don't agree with? There's a separate forum here called Civilized Debate. I suggest you go there if you want to argue.

I highly doubt that.

[DarqueMist]

one good reason (can't think of any others)
if you haunt their website for long enough you stand a good chance of finding an exceptionally good deal, just have to pay very close attention to what you are getting.

As I remember from other conversations, that does not include Vista Home basic or Premium....just some of the Business versions.
Anyway, some that have tried to downgrade have run into driver issues where there are no XP drivers for a particular piece of hardware(in the computer).
I think it was valis that had an issue with one particular chipset.

So if a posting was "edited:........... for lack of insensitivity"
does that mean it was too sensitive, that the person was nice?

Or, do you mean that it was "edited:........... for lack of sensitivity" ??

Or am I being too insensitive? (or as you might say ... sensitive?)
