A first from Dell: giving customers a choice of Windows operating systems
Today in a newspaper advertisement for Dell computers directed at business
customers, the ad gave customers a choice of Windows Vista or Windows XP for each computer being offered. I've never seen anything like this before. In the past, once a new version of Windows had come out, Dell sold all its new computers with the new version. What this seems to indicate is that Dell is aware of the problems with Vista and the unhappiness many users have expressed about it, so they want to attract more customers by giving them the option of buying XP. |

What about the "fact" that HP is out selling Dell - and HP is offering only
Vista? Dell is just losing it and they are grabbing at a life ring. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

Yea, but who would want a crappy HP machine anyway? Even though Dell is
"losing it" their machines are much better than HP. Oh the poor consumer.... People who buy HP machines don't know any better, therefore don't know they have choices (or don't understand it) "Richard Urban" wrote in message ...

Just out of curiosity what's so bad about HP? I mean at least what's worse
about them than Dell? Nandro "Spanky deMonkey" wrote in message ... Yea, but who would want a crappy HP machine anyway? Even though Dell is "losing it" their machines are much better than HP.

When I used to work in the IT department of a large company it was routine to spend a year or so testing and planning such a major upgrade. Meanwhile we still needed new PCs. |

... What about the "fact" that HP is out selling Dell - and HP is offering only Vista? Are HP refusing to supply XP or just not advertising XP anymore? If HP refuse to supply XP at this early stage in Vistas life they're crazy. |

Look at their web site and judge for yourself. I haven't seen any new
computers with other than Vista being supplied. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!
