This empirical evidence may contribute to the discussion: My son is starting freshman year at college. Two of his friends ordered new laptops through their Universities, which were delivered with Vista. Both students are Comp. Sci./Engineering majors. Both have since gotten downgrades.
My son didn't have this problem. He ordered through the University of Maryland, so his laptop came with XP Pro standard. He is in no hurry to upgrade. I doubt that any of the students who got downgrades did so simply to "make a statement". --John Emmerling ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
