Time to start the antitrust lawsuites again....

700meg to run an OS? No thank you. I need that memory for other things... like writing productive software.

So I spent a month trying to find a reasonable laptop 'without Vista'. Where is the option to buy a computer 'without an OS' or with your chosen OS? Kind of smacks me of last time Microsoft got it's wrists slapped...

Not to mention, practically every laptop produced in the last couple years has 'VISTA' installed. Go look at some online stores offering older laptops...vista... vista...vista. Laptops with 512meg running Vista...

Something happened because I would guarantee a majority of those laptops originally arrived at the vendors with XP. Why do they know have vista? Perhaps the vendors thought it would be a 'selling feature' to sell a laptop with VIsta that can barely run it? Strikes me as some alternative 'incentive'....

Don't know what to make of it, but these have been my observations.... you can do your own math....
