FIRST OFF HERE IS MY DISCLAIMER, I HAVE XP AND DONT WANT VISTA. SO THIS IS NOT AN ATTEMPT AT PIRACY....
BUT I WAS LOOKING AT THE NEW COMPUTER MY MOM JUST BOUGHT AND AND SAW THAT IT CAME WITH A " OPERATING SYSTEM REINSTALLATION DVD, WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32BIT" IT SAYS ALL THE NORMAL STUFF LIKE, FOR DISTRIBUTION WITH A NEW DELL PC, ETC ETC. BUT IS THIS A ENTIRE COPY ON DVD OR JUST SOME SORT OF PART FOR FIXING FIXING IF THERE IS A PROBLEM? I WAS JUST UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT DELL DIDNT SEND OPERATING SYSTEM CD'S ANYMORE. AGAIN I DONT WISH TO PIRATE THIS, BECAUSE I HEAR NIGHTMARES ABOUT VISTA ANYWAY, I WAS JUST CURIOUS MORE THAN ANYTHING. and i know that she didnt pay extra to get the OS dvd.
oh man, really sorry about the caps i didnt realize until i typed the WHOLE paragraph.

I find that hard to believe that you typed a whole paragraph and didn't realize it was in caps, but you can copy ur paragraph to word, highlight the text, and push shift+f3 a few times and it will make everything lowercased!!

Don't understand what all the crap is about !! but i like it in caps, much easier to read! Everyone just jumps on the band wagon, they read what someone says and they think this is the way. Anyway just my opinion!!ROFLMAO

That may be so but we have forum rule #9 that goes something like this,

9. No ALL CAPS MESSAGES or you will be banned (you know, turn the caps lock off before you type anything).
Back on topic folks, this one has wandered too much already.

i had thought the discs they shipped out were like those of the past, in that they only worked with that specific model of machine (through some evil software sorcery). never thought they would actually ship clean copies of an OS...but then again, with vista, how clean can you be?
*edit*
the grammar fairy came to me and smacked me on the nose.

The Dell XP disc were keyed to the Dell Bio's they would install on another Dell computer.Not sure if the Dell Vista disc are like that.
