My company's IT finance dept just hooked it up so we can buy brand new computers via payroll deduction, no credit check, no interest. They have some pretty good deals on AMD Dells and they all come with a free 1gb mp3 player to get the program started.

Well count your blessings for not many companies will do that for their clonies..."Too much paperwork for accounting.." is the usual excuse...

Enjoy...
 
The funny thing is we are not even an IT company, but we have contracts with Dell, IBM, and Microsoft. The only stipulation is that we have to give a bank or cc# (in case we leave the company).

They just take the payments out of our check every two weeks for a year.
 
What's with the No Operating System? FreeDOS? How much would I have to pay for Vista?

You'll have to pay full price depending on the flavor you want...

You can't take advantage of the Vista upgrade price because this computer comes without an OS!

You may get away with buying the upgrade, installing an old copy of Windows XP if you have one then running the upgrade disk. Good luck running the validation step online with Microsoft.

Be aware of this, most stores are not taking back opened Vista upgrades if you couldn't install it for whatever reason, once you buy it, you own it....
 
You can install Vista over top of itself or go OEM

Well, I don't like to disagree :druel: but actually, you can buy the upgrade version and install it right over the top of ...... nothing. This is a well documented tip in Vista. Essentially, you install Vista (whatever flavor you want) and then essentially, you install it AGAIN right over top of itself. I don't have time or space to spell it all out, but here is just one place you can read how to do it.

Just an FYI, this does NOT invalidate your purchase/license. It is an option put in so that people actually CAN install vista on a clean hard drive which is the recommended method and since vista (unlike previous versions) does not ask for the cd/DVD to prove prior ownership during the install, this was the agreed upon method.

Of course if you don't want to go through the trouble of that, get an OEM copy of the OS (NewEgg has Home Premium for $119) -- and yes end users are allowed to do this as long as they adhere to the license terms, such as activation, etc.

Enjoy!
 
Well for having the name "Deal Evangelist", that's pretty wicked!

I read it but don't believe it...

Have plenty of hard drives to test, maybe one of these days, if I come across an upgrade somehow - I might just try it...

:claps:
 
Shipping $29.99

Ummmmmmm. The cheapest shipping option is $29.99. That makes it $420 shipped.
 
Vista

Not to be too much of a Micro$oft hater, but why would anyone want Vista? Seriously, wait till they work out the bugs. Unless you need Windows for gaming, get Ubuntu. It works just as well, if not better from a user's standpoint. You've got wordprocessing, web browsing, e-mail, image editing, sound and video editing, and all for free. You don't have to worry about viruses (yet) and firewall should come built in.
 
You'd want Vista cause you can't buy any other one. XP is discontinuing XP...

Dell computers have bios activation for Vista & XP. So the bios kind of expects those.
