Windows Vista?
Isn't that an urban legend? A myth or something? :bleh: |

Unfortunatelly not. Most notebooks nowadays come equiped with Vista. :notrust: The problem here is that some of them can be bought with no OS, but while it is possible to stick WInXp on them not all components might work propperly. this is lame. as it is lame that you can't easilly ("out of the box") install Linux on them. EDIS: But vista does have DirectX10.

Here, we can only get new computers with Vista on them, not even empty ones. I love you, FDISK.

Oh we have "empty ones" with "fake" linux and freedos installed on them. Which again shouldn't be sold because with the mentioned systems not all of the stuff works and customer has the right to test the product before purchase. either that or you can return it and get the money back.

I usually buy second-hand anyway if I need a new computer. I've only had XP since about March, the computer before that had 98 on it.

I like FDISK. It's the fastest way to destroy lots of data. And it's DOS-based. :thumbs:
