Though web sites and sales reps may tell you otherwise, XP is available. If purchasing via a web site, use the "small business" section rather than the "home" section; if dealing with a rep, make it clear that your purchase is conditional on XP.
The "Operating System" availability shown on Lenovo's high-level laptop page shows XP being available for all four product lines: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/na/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalo g.workflow:expandcategory?current-catalog-id=12F0696583E04D86B9B79B0FEC01C08 7¤t-category-id=8FA114A7D9FF4F38AE8E19B36EC665A7 Click on one of these, and the family is described with Vista as the default choice. Click the "Customize" button, and you can have XP for an additional $22. Vista's adoption rate in the world of business is less than 5%. Companies are not taking delivery of Vista machines and loading XP. 73, Dave, AA6YQ -----Original Message----- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of wa0elm Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 6:28 PM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: [digitalradio] Vista I'm looking at purchasing a new laptop, and I can't find anything that doesn't come with Vista. Is anyone having success running digital software (e.g. MultiPSK and/or MMTTY) with Vista? Last I heard, most digital software doesn't play nice with it. I thought about buying a Vista machine, and loading XP, but the problem I've found is that some drivers may not be available for XP. I'd like to get a little guidance before I pull out what's left of my hair. Thanks in advance, Eric WA0ELM
