Representative sample or not, this is a real phenomenon. A lot of Vista's so-called sales are not really sales at all. Just last fall, I bought an Everex laptop that came with Vista and never even booted into the OS, immediately eschewing it in favor of Gentoo.
- thaumaturgy 18y agoDell is still offering the "Windows Vista Business Bonus" option on new PCs, which really means that for 99 bucks extra you get Windows XP pre-installed and a Vista disc and license for later. I just recently ordered two of these for a local client that does energy research. They're running some older test software, some custom stuff, and TightVNC on a couple of other systems, none of which works (or works easily, or works well) on Vista. At this point, it's smarter for them to pay the extra 99 dollars to stick with XP.
