Inside Tips About Vista
So you have heard the latest, greatest (at least Bill thinks so) operating system is on the market ... Vista! Here is some interesting information about the product:
1. Sales are so slow that Microsoft has forbidden OEM partners from selling XP. So you can only buy Vista with a new machine.
2. PCSecurityShield buys all of its machines from the Dell Outlet Store (great deals and Dell service). Generally there are 50-100 machines available with XP on them. If you look at the Vista machines available today (4/11/07), there were over 1,250 machines, some as low as $239.00.
Those are new machines that customers got, didn't like, want or need, returned to Dell and Dell sells them as refurbs at great prices. 1,250 machines ... consumers don't like Vista apparently.
FYI ... we have purchased many, many Dell refurbs and only once have we had to return one that didn't work right and we got a replacement.
