> Dell offers you Vista.

Good reason for not buying it then.

Existing software you have may not work on Vista and existing hardware you have may not have drivers for Vista.

There are LOTS of problems with Vista and it may not be right for 6 months or more.

Right now I would buy a laptop with XP on it.

Just for laughs, check out Dell's own site:

The 'good' system is great for booting Vista, but without running any applications. That's not good, by my definition. I want to actually use my computer. What a joke.
