I've had Vista business since early December, and I dont even have it on my laptop or desktop, thats how much I dont care for it (I got it for free btw).

I especially wont get it on my laptop, because I only have a 100GB hard drive and I dont feel like wasting space for a useless OS. I will only switch to Vista once their are no more driver issues, they release more programs for Vista, and until Vista becomes the "norm".

I am going to get the free upgrade sent to me. But I won't install it for some time lol

Too bad if you buy a Dell XPS (as far as I know its all of the dell laptops) laptop, Vista comes with it as the OS, no option for XP anymore

Like I am thinking of doing

I doubt that, as of now still the only option is XP but you get the Vista upgrade coupon.

No, I just checked the "customize" section where you pick your hardware and software options an under the OS menu, Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, and Vista Ultimate were available.

my dad is attempting to buy a Dell desktop... a peice of junk one... and the main reason is because it has Vista.

Oh wow, then it must have been very recent because I was customizing a laptop yesterday I believe and it was only XP that was available.

was there a price drop, origonally i thought vista ultimate was going to be more than $199, but i saw it on newegg for that price.
