That'll presumably be supplied with Vista?

Yes, it comes with the cheapest version preinstalled.

I should be very interested to know whether an initial boot from the
hard drive gives you the option to refuse the Vista licence (and
reclaim some of its cost from Lenovo) as you apparently can with some
other new PCs.

I'll see what it does just before I boot from the F9 DVD. If there's
any option to get a refund on the M$ tax I'll take it.
