So you are not necessarily allowed to run XP if you buy Vista. You are just buying the OS twice in that scenario. Once again, MS makes out like bandits. ----- Original Message ----- From: jeff <jeffv@op.net> To: Philadelphia Linux User's Group Discussion List <plug@lists.phillylinux.org> Sent: Friday, July 13, 2007 6:04:15 PM GMT-0500 Subject: Re: [PLUG] Dell linux W.

My understanding is that it arrives with Vista, we wipe it, then install whatever else we want. If we're going with XP, we use licenses we have just purchased or own. I don't know if the Vista license is the same or not. I'll ask specifically next time I talk to them. ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug -- W.
