Re: new computer
Shoulda gotten one with XP.
Except if you like the newer games (which won't matter right now with that video card of course) in which case Vista is the way to go because microsoft is a jackass and won't do anything to XP to let it run DirectX10.

Re: new computer
Dell and all the other OEMs haven't been allowed to sell XP since last June.

Re: new computer
So computards:
Find me rapatoppa with BEEG hard drive, BEEG screen (well, for a rapatoppa), decent batteries life, Rotsa memories and a touchpad dingus that's centered (not offset like those cocksucking faggots at HP. I like my work IBM Lenovos T60 for stuff- something like that only cheaper and with bigger HD and stuff for more porn. One that runs something not Vista but has super fast processors with many teraflops

Re: new computer
Really? Is there some major difference betwee "XP" and "Vista with downgrade to XP"? Because dell is still doing the latter. You have to go through their business site, but you don't have to be a business to buy from there.

Re: new computer
Maybe MS lightened up on the restrictions after everyone in the world told them how much Vista sucks. Paying an extra fee to get a better OS is fucked up though.

Re: new computer
That is mostly true, but Dell does offer XP on a few models on the business side. It's not advertised heavily but can be done. Not many reputable businesses upgraded to Vista, and Microsoft is allowing quiet licensing of XP even as we speak. That's why there is the windows 7 rush we are seeing now. They need the corporate licensing to keep them afloat. Their home sales amount to dick as someone like dell or HP pays $6-7 for a copy of windows they sell. Retail box OS sales are virtually nill. The MS businesses model relies heavily on the enterprises licenses. The company I work in IT for, has ~15,000 dell desktops, and 600 or so servers from dell, on it's network. |
