I had exactly this problem with a new DELL that I ordered, only the bug seems to be getting worse.
The purchase options gave a choice of 4 versions of something called "Windows Vista", I had been unfortunate enough to have been exposed to this before when it was in BETA and despite searching for and option that said "I do not want to buy a new PC and have it run slower than my old PC" but alas I could find none. Due to a policy implemented by my IT mis-manager I had no other supply source so I reluctantly resigned myself to this. However I FOUND A WORK AROUND the machine arrived, some 20 days after it was ordered, I was impressed that their business service delivery reflects the speed at which you can expect the new OS to run. But imagine the horror when I switched the machine on to be greeted by the sound of money being flushed down the toilet. But fear not, there is actually a downloadable repair disk that will get machines infected with Vista to work reliably, at a reasonable speed, with no DRM or privacy infringements AND it negates any concerns about that awful EULA.
