Here, we can only get new computers with Vista on them, not even empty ones. I love you, FDISK.

Uhm... you are allowed to have monopoly? Because that's what this is... Taking away the option for the customer to choose.

Oh we have "empty ones" with "fake" linux and freedos installed on them. Which again shouldn't be sold because with the mentioned systems not all of the stuff works and customer has the right to test the product before purchase. either that or you can return it and get the money back.

I usually buy second-hand anyway if I need a new computer. I've only had XP since about March, the computer before that had 98 on it.

I like FDISK. It's the fastest way to destroy lots of data. And it's DOS-based. :thumbs:
