Not a rumour. Their business class machines still ship with either XP or include a CD that will allow you to "downgrade" the Vista installation. Not the case for their current consumer computers, as far as I can recall anyhow. ::michael MB Software Solutions General Account wrote: > G Gambi

I need to buy 3 windows XP Pro boxes fo business applications and would appreciate recommendations as to brands (i.e. Dell). No gaimeing so 2 Ghz (single processor) range should be good. Reasonably priced (with reasonable support) is good, cheap probably is not. TIA George --- StripMime Repor
