IOW it needs to come pre-downgraded. What really blew my mind: One company (might be Dell) offers "crud removal service" on some machines. You can have Outlook and other non-essentials removed. For a fee of two bucks a pop! Now that's a new business model, offer something with lots of gizmos and then when customers don't want the gizmos charge them for removal. Makes me somewhat grumpy but I'll probably still buy there, cause I need XP. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com | ||||
