I just am just voicing my opinion on what I have read. If you want to run Vista go ahead and run it. But if Vista is so much of an upgrade from XP why did MS allow vendors to go back and offer XP as an option, or why are the vendors themselves offering XP along with Vista. I have a good friend

All, Thanks for the replies regarding PC RFI. Dell states that most of their computer systems are FCC Class-B certified. Class-B being the more stringent standard over Class-A. The bottom line is that there are no guarantees a Class-B device will not cause interference. From what I gather,

You mentioned Class B for industrial applications. Is the intent of Class B to hold down the amount of RFI coming out of the computer and bothering other things? Or is it more to prevent strong RFI in the environment from screwing up the computer? I guess for ham radio we are concerned with both

I remember it as just the opposite. The idea was to protect broadcast radio and television. Class B was for use in the home where it might interfere with a neighbour. Class A was for commercial use as it was expected to be further away from any homes. If a business interferes with itself, it
