>>>>I've gone through that with a HP laptop, at a ridiculous price - paid the vista tax (porez na budale), now I have a very fast XP machine :). It's actually HP who has to (or will have to, once) pay M$ the OEM price for Vista, no matter what OS gets on the machine. I think they get their money out of the adware/crapware they install and flood your desktop with. Luckily, it all vanishes when you boot from a XP setup disk :).

>Well for once i heard my brother's advice ( he works for Oracle, mainly on Linux clusters ), and installed Ubuntu servers to some customers for my vfp apps. I got paid very well for the install, and they got a great server, unlimited cals, fast, and didn't have to mortgage the house to buy the hardware. It went so good in fact i already installed 4 of them :-)
