I tried very hard to select the same components: CPU, memory, graphics
card, hard drive, DVD.
It would cost me a hundred bucks less for the Vista box. I don't think
Dell has quite got this worked out yet.
I seem to recall there being some argument for this a while back. The
pre-loaded machines actually cost the clone manufacturers less, simply
because all the drivers are pre-loaded on some sort of image, whereas they
need to spend more labor hours on these machines.
I don't understand. Why is there any software labor on a box with no
installed operating system?
